Songs on THE BEST and/or WORST OF ....

1) RED HOT WOMEN and ICE COLD BEER

2REDHOTCOVER.JPG.w560h563.jpg

Written by a guy named Cy Coben... We found the toon on a NEW RIDERS OF THR PURPLE SAGE album titled: "WHO ARE THOSE GUYS" (lifted from the movie: BUTCH CASSIDY & THE SUNDANCE KID)....  more than four people said they like our version better !

2) HOW CAN I LOVE YOU (IF YOU WON"T LAY DOWN)

BRAGSAG.JPG.w300h400.jpg

This toon is officially credited to R. HACK (who is really ERIC MELLEN...don't tell him I told) and describes a sexual disfunction in his life ( maybe it's better by now)

3) BEER DRINKIN' and HELL RAISIN'

BEERdrinkinHELLraisin.JPG

ROLLAH (ASSTONE) ASTON wrote this one, drawing upon the general experience of his youth... 

4) CAROLINDA

CAROLINDA.jpg

CHUCK MAULTSBY (better known to me as.. I) wrote this one... I had a hard time comin' up with a girl name that would make the chorus flow...  it had to be four syllables, so I stuck two girl names together. A long time ago gal in Colorado told me she named her daughter Carolinda.... that was kinda touching (the kid was'nt mine).... and then recently (June 2007) a 27 year old young lady in Mountian View, Ca. contacted me and shared the fact that her Dad named her CAROLINDA after hearing my song on KFAT Radio..... now, that's a head trip!

5) MEDLY: GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY / RAWHIDE / BALLAD of PALLADIN

MEDLYIMAGE.JPG

A very well arranged (if I do say so) medly of great American classics ... it's absolutely un-American not to have heard at least one of these toons (especially if you're over 40)

6) TOO MUCH FUN

drunkandasleepfloored.jpg

Written by "LOST PLANET AIRMEN" Bill Kirchen and Billy C. Farlow, this was a "Commander Cody" fave and a "Chuck Wagon" fave...  "The Wheels" had the pleasure of warming up some shows for the CODY guys and you could'nt find a nicer bunch..  I got some of the lyrics wrong but Kirchen said he liked 'em better...

7) YOU SHOT THE T.V.

YouShotTheTV.jpg

Another of Eric Mellen's tales of disfunction and woe that makes you grin.... I don't think it's a true story... you'll have to ask him...

8) MY GIRL PASSED OUT IN HER FOOD

GirlPassedOut.JPG

Now I got it straight from the horses mouth that this IS a true story...  Tom Walker wrote the toon about the experience he had with x-wife Marty (and she freely admits the story is true)...  saw Marty at the No Class Reunion and she is STILL a beautiful date !

9) YOU ONLY SAY YOU LOVE ME WHEN YOU'RE DRUNK

DrunkChickonTable.jpg

Scott Bish wrote this one, and I think he captured the experience a lot of us have had sometime or another....more or less

10) DISCO SUCKS (PARTS 1 & 2)

2TRAVOLTA.gif

The perfect song(s) at the perfect time...1979 the four songwriters in the band had a competition to see who could write the best anti-disco toon and Scott Bish won ! ... click on: THE STORY OF DISCO SUCKS on home page

AND 5 RARE "LIVE" TRACKS :

.

11) (UP AGAINST DE WALL)  RASTA MOTHER

RASTAmother.jpg

JERRYJEFF.jpg

So this is what happens when Bob Marley and Jerry Jeff Walker get together..... or something

12) SEEDS and STEMS

SEEDSandSTEMS.JPG

My jaw dropped when I first heard the Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen album that included this gem.... I then fully realized that country music could be cool...  

13) ASSHOLE FROM EL PASO

ASSHOLEfromELPASO.jpg

We thought we were clever in making this song up... but come to find out there were others (of course) including KINKY FRIEDMAN and CHINGA CHAVIN....

14) WHY DON'T WE GET DRUNK and SCREW

gogglesANDscrew.jpg

Hats off to JIMMY BUFFET for havin' the balls to release this ditty when he did....  this song always works well at the end of the night when everybody's drunk and ready..... but unable

15) GLORIA

GLORIA.jpg

This 15 minute rambling epic (medley actually) was always a crowd favorite... and why not ! It has all the elements !... SEX, DRUGS and ROCK and ROLL !!! ........ amazing.........

Here are some opinions:

 
 
 
 
If this ain't honky tonk music, then I don't know what is....Mike Ives-Arizona Republic (Phoenix)........................................................Listening to these Wagon tracks today, after having absorbed a numbing decade of determinedly manufactured music from the big labels, the experience is absolutely buoyant. Every song has a band sound, as if the whole song was played all at once by actual human beings who actually knew each other....Chuck Graham-Tucson Citizen..........................................................All you hippie cowboys out there who have been holed up with your scratchy copies of "The Adventures Of Panama Red" take heart! From out of the West, it's Chuck Wagon and the Wheels to the rescue! This Tucson Az. based band is playing some of the best and brightest country-rock and swing around. A natural progression from the Northern California school of country-rock. The "Wheels" are a crazy hybrid blend of The New Riders of the Purple Sage and Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen....Steve Sagik-Austin American Statesman........................................................"My girl passed out in her dinner, now she's got more of it on her than in her".. Crazy lyrics and loony toons ring out fron the stage. Wild cheers and cowboy hoots echo from the sidelines. Feet stompin' and elbows knockin' on the overcrowded hardwood dance floor. An atmosphere of sheer chaotic delight permeates within the hot, smoke filled barroom. The Museum Club is seeing some of it's largest crowds in months, and it's no wonder why, Chuck Wagon and the Wheels are in town...Beth Trepper- The Northlander (Flagstaff, Az.).............................................................Of the groups appearing before Peter Rowan, Chuck Wagon and the Wheels(from Tucson, Az.) were the crowds favorite, and with good reason. After all, anybody who sings songs like "How Can I Love You If You Won't Lay Down", "Red Hot Women and Ice Cold Beer", and "Disco Sucks" is bound to please anybody with a sense of humor. And they did! Chuck Wagon handled rock and roll as well as, if not better, than the country tunes. Their arrangements were as unique and unpredictable as their lyrics. One of the kickiest (and Kinkiest) things they did was a rendition of "Gloria" which was spiced up by a little storytelling by the lead singer. He rambled on about the night he and "Gloria" drank, did drugs, and got out the peanut butter before going to bed. The audience loved it!....Cathy Cassinos-Sacramento Union............................................................It's a fine collection of modern country music-country swing if you want to call it that. It has a lot of funny tunes on it, but the one that really took off was "Disco Sucks". The response to that song was highly favorable. That's why it made it to #10 on the TOP 25 FUNNY SONGS for 1979.........Dr. Demento-KMET Los Angeles..........................................................The Wheels still don't have a big time record deal, but they do have a song that's made them celebrities in their home state of Arizona and gotten them airplay from San Francisco to Boston. It's called "Disco Sucks" and it comes in two parts. The first part is a perky little swing tune that notes a personal preference for "songs about drivin' trucks"; the second part features the aural destruction of a mock disco record in which a Barry White sound alike moans lasciviously while a female chorus (or could it be the Bee Gees?) chirps "disco sucks..sucks, sucks, sucks." Go figure!...Frank Rose- The Village Voice (New York)............................................................Among the many good parts of the Bay Area tour were the shows at the Keystone in Palo Alto. The first night included a live radio broadcast of the show, called the "Fat Fry" , so named for the station that airs the happening, KFAT. "Fat Radio" broadcasts out of Gilroy, California (which claims to be the garlic capital of the world) and is directly responsible for the band's Bay Area fortune because they gave the Wheels their first airplay. A couple of nights later the Wheels played again at the Keystone, this time playing warmup for Texas swing kings Asleep at the Wheel. One person that night asked pedal steel guitarist Neil Harry "C'mon, who are you guys really? Are you the New Riders? More than one reference was made comparing the Wheels to the New Riders of the Purple Sage.....Paul Quatraro-Tucson Newsreal.........................................................I went to an official record release bash the other night for a band that has a hit song called "My Girl Passed Out In Her Food". It's danceable, hummable and gross. The band was blasting out "Rasta Mother" when I arrived. I'll bet both Bob Marley and Jerry Jeff Walker would get a kick out of this one! Chuck and His Wheels are one of my faves on the long neck beer bottle and pearl button shirt circuit. They are absolutely the only good thing to come out of Tucson, Arizona since that Ronstadt girl (Linda isn't it?). Among thier more popular songs are "Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw", "Red Hot Women and Ice Cold Beer", "Disco Sucks" and my personal favorite, "Asshole from El Paso"....Peter Stack-San Francisco Chronicle........................................................
