"Tobacco Road" #14 11/7/1964

This and the next three posts are for records that topped out in consecutive positions this week in 1964. The Nashville Teens were British, not American, and this was their only hit over here. It was rather hard rockin' for the times. Written by John D. Loudermilk, who came from the wrong side of the tracks in Durham, NC, and also wrote "Talk Back Trembling Lips," "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Waterloo," "Indian Reservation" and a whole bunch of country hits for George Hamilton IV.
