about

I loved folk music: the soft melodies that I had sung in my early years with the Bucket Three folk group. This song is soft and romantic. The theme of love and love lost in the tragedy of a car crash. Again...the melody and words were spontaneous and unrehearsed. The band was so unified by this time...only a few weeks since our first album..that we were able to "feel" the changes in chording. We were a band of brothers now.

lyrics

Jessie was a boy who loved his cars and his hot hot wheels
Cruising down the Idaho blacktop ...ninety miles an hour
But its a Hot Hot Spell on the Cold Cold Waves of the Radio
Jessie went way too fast and broke the sound barrier
Looking for Annabel down by the local store
It was a Hot Hot Spell on the Cold Cold Waves of the Radio
He parked his car...no one around...and parked Too..
He ran to her..with love in his eyes for her...
But it was a Hot Hot Spell on the Cold Cold Waves of the Radio
Cause..across that street was a speeding car...burning steel
And Jessie couldn't see...who was behind that wheel
That car hit Jessie..run him into the ground
Annabel ran out and also fell to the ground
Jessie died in the arms of the one he loved
Its a Hot Hot Spell on the Cold Cold Waves of the Radio
All of the reporters..they walked to the scene
Jessie was there...now only cream
His love by his side...laying there
Just like another meat with nothing to care
Its hard now when the papers come out and just write those things
That have nothing to do ..with ...love
Cause...Its a Hot Hot Spell on the Cold Cold Waves of the Radio
They just keep exploiting you with those stories of blood and guts
Just like what they did with Jessie..no one cares at all.
