Description:
I sent this sloppy demo to Dylan, (not Robert Zimmerman but the French map maker some of you might know) His production skills are amazing. He brought his totally cool spirit and attitude to the mix.
The tune is about a guy from the wrong side of the tracks and a girl running off and having a wild time.
Dylan:production,vox,instruments
buckhorn: writing, vox,instruments
Lyrics:
PurpleCadillac
Real chords/ Capo 3rd Fret
Intro Eb/C G7/E7 C7/A7 2 times
Verse C7/ A7 C7/A7 addF#
She started going with a boy named Jack
She fell in love with his well muscled back
F7/D7 F7/D7 add G
He got annoyed when she started swinging
C7/A7
Nobody under stood just what was ringing her bell
G7/E7
chorus 1 They had the inclination and they had the time
a purple cadilack and a box of wine
C7/A7
Hell yea
verse 2 They took a ride down by the track
she understood she could never go back
It must have looked like the girl was taken
When the shack went black and Jack started shaking it up
Chorus 2
Hell yea 2 times
Bridge Am/F#m F7/D7
She lives in a black and white dream
The poor boy fell in love with the scheme
Eb/C G7/E7 C7/A7
And she don’t give a damn what Daddy says
Verse3
They started hanging with a boy named Jim
nobody knew what was wrong with him
They kicked him out when he started stinking
no body understood what they were thinking of
Chorus
Hell yea 4 times
Bridge (with spoken words?)
outro Eb/C G7/E7 C7/A7 three times
C7/A7 addF#

Great production doesn't hurt your songs like I once thought they might.
You guys are awesome. Perfect vocal matchup.
I was listening to Bill's Better this morning and started to comment on your myspace. I also noticed the box of wine comment there.
Great job you guys. Really impressive singing and playing. [ Reply to This ]

It's good for me to have older friends. I can learn so much from people your age, if I live that long.
Right now I am still getting in touch with my "inner-front-man". You are one of the funniest old farts I know! I wanna party with you, Matt (and your DD)
Your pal,

with much better vox ... man this is cool matthew... great job guys ... mix is fantastic!! [ Reply to This ]
Parrish &mdash 02/29/08 - 09:03:18 PM
the thought. There is no better voice than Tom Waits. As I said before, With out switches and dials I sound a lot like
Mr. Rodgers. Im guessing with out effects Dylan probably sounds something like Mr. Bean. Thanks for stoppin by. [ Reply to This ]

I had you pegged as a gentleman right from the start. I guess first impressions hold true sometimes. Regards [ Reply to This ]
Cool &mdash 02/29/08 - 06:54:13 PM
Man! This is cool, loved the trade off on the vocals which tells an interesting story. Instrumentation is right on. Really original tune with lots of good stuff going on. Bridge is strategic and works really well. Nice collaboration. It's a privilege having you here. Thanks for sharing. [ Reply to This ]
Thanks &mdash 02/29/08 - 10:00:34 PM
Those are some awfully kind words that I probably don't deserve but I'll take them anyway. Cheers [ Reply to This ]

Hey John &mdash 03/01/08 - 12:36:05 PM
One of my favorite tunes on icomp was a tune you guys did together. cheers [ Reply to This ]
Hell yeah &mdash 03/01/08 - 09:55:35 AM
a purple cadillac and box of wine - great line.
fun tune. really liked the piano and the cop banter toward the end.
Drums sound over-compressed to me. I'd like to hear them a little bigger and forward in the mix - my personal preference. cool stuff guys. [ Reply to This ]
I &mdash 03/01/08 - 12:41:07 PM
Don't know much about mixing, I thought it sounded better produced than any thing I've done. He even made my lame piano playing sound good, he must have chopped up the good parts and made them into loops Im guessing. Thanks for the words. Regards [ Reply to This ]
Another amazing lyric &mdash 03/01/08 - 08:03:34 PM
and tune. Dylan makes the magic, doesn't he? Great to hear both of you together here. [ Reply to This ]
Yeah John &mdash 03/02/08 - 11:37:42 PM
Dyl made the mix sound good and big and he brung (brought) a great sense of showmanship to it. Thanks for stoppin in. Regards [ Reply to This ]

Hey dude &mdash 03/02/08 - 11:41:42 PM
Thanks for the listen, its so cool now that there is technology available to collaborate across oceans, it was fun. Thanks [ Reply to This ]
Dangit, Ray already took Hell Yeah for His Title &mdash 03/02/08 - 02:06:24 PM
I totally get what McBoy is saying about Jack and Diane. I could see John Mellencamp pushing his way up to the mic to sing along on this one with you guys. I really dig the fact that you have two lead singers on this. It adds a really cool, loose feel to the song and just makes it even more fun.
I love the lyrics. Especially the lines about Jim and his stinking. Great production, of course, fabulous playing and I had a blast listening. This is a driving with the top down kind of song.
Then the cops came...
Damnit. [ Reply to This ]
If J.M. did that....... &mdash 03/03/08 - 12:00:08 AM
I'd make him "hurt so good" Just kidding, I'd probably dance with him. I'm glad the performance had a loose feel, thats the uninhibited state that I aim for. And Frankly Im glad the cops came, I laughed when I heared the moral that Dylan put in the story......Thanks for the Comment, I don't get many from the fairer gender,probably for good reason. Regards [ Reply to This ]
Great &mdash 03/04/08 - 02:52:45 AM
Wow.,.. This has a really great sound.... A happy sound on this.... Good vocals.... I really like this song.... Thanks for sharing... A pleasure to the ear... [ Reply to This ]

Thank good ol' iC Dylan for great production... the vox almost sounds like him, or the kind of thing that'd be up his alley. Thank you for a great tune. Sometimes a straight narrative can seem mundane or prosaic on the surface, while the execution of the song can paint a picture that goes deeper in the - in this - listener's imagination. Well done, Matt. [ Reply to This ]
Prosaic Mosaic &mdash 04/19/08 - 09:28:38 PM
Dylan and I both "sang" err vocalized on this. Funny you should comment I've been thinking about hitting you up for some riffage on a tune...... I'll be dropping you a note. Regards [ Reply to This ]
Hah! &mdash 04/30/08 - 01:05:07 PM
Classic, down n' dirty rock-a-billy. Yeah, Dylan is a production genius. But the tune is excellent to begin with. Well played. Well sung!
Take care! [ Reply to This ]
