The Bad Roads "Blue Girl" 1999

Named for Duane Eddy's 1959 hit "Forty Miles of Bad Road", this six-piece combo from Lake Charles, LA, deep in the heart of Cajun country featured Buz Clark on vocals, lead guitarist Terry Green, rhythm guitarist Briant Smith, Mike Hicks on bass, Kenny Cooley on tambourine and drummer Danny Kimball...
...The Bad Roads' first single "Blue Girl," a razor sharp one-up of the Rolling Stones, along with its eerie flipside "Too Bad" are so authentically 1966 you can almost smell the soggy coats being checked by kids at the cloakroom of the National Guard Armory, where a hand-lettered "Teen Dance Tonight: $1.00" sign appears above the front door.

Lake Charles is a little too far west to be considered "deep in the heart of Cajun Country." It's almost in Texas.
