"Going Over 40"
Performed by Amazing Delores
From the album Stop Messin' with my Mind
Label: Upstart
1994
CD
Even though I would bet dollars to donuts that this song has absolutely nothing to do with Route 40, the title caught my attention. This rockabilly song may be more about one's age or perhaps a speed limit than about a highway. Delores takes some getting used to. Her record label describes her singing style as 'hillbilly-psycho-blues-rock from a woman who sings like the illegitimate spawn of Phyllis Diller & Capt. Beefheart.' Fair enough. Dr. Demnto is also a fan. Delores' style and certainly her cover photo make her look like she'd be perfect for the next John Waters film. (Hey John, get Pat to cast Delores in your next flick!)
