Best Driving Music Ever!

"A pure shot of adrenaline... With vocals so fuzzy and incoherent that they sound like they are sung over a cheap CB radio, this song is all 1960s NASCAR. It's all about speed; the raw unadulturated power of a V8 set to music. Listening to this song while behind the wheel is a transcendental experience. As the pounding "DadaDOOMP DadaDOOMP..." of the drums drive forward, the foot cannot resist the accelerator. Soon the engine, the dashed centerline of the highway, and the spedometer needle smacking against the maximum speed peg all come into sync with the music. The driver becomes immersed in the task of driving, attuned to every aspect of his engine, and then becomes one with his engine. Man is machine, and machine is man. Jesus Built my Hotrod."

"While trying to put my life together, after separation (eventual divorce) from wife (back in '93), I was listening to upbeat, bubbly, '80's stuff to make me feel better, when a friend gave me the Ministry (Psalm 69) tape, and I thought it was o.k....
Many years later (only a few short weeks ago), after all but forgetting about that tape,I was browsing thru a (well-known) discount book store, when THIS CD caught my attention. Without EVEN thinking about it, I had included this with my purchase, took it home, listened to it and Reeelly LOVED it. I found my old tape, and couldn't stop listening to ALL versions of "Jesus...". My preferred (as well as highly recommended) listening order of tracks is--3,2,1 (to me it just seems more enjoyable!
After reading some previous reviews, I had LOTS of questions answered--THANX, very much, go out to those reviewers!! I hope EVERYONE enjoys this CD as much as I have, and hope MY review helped (at least some)... TTFN! (:"

One great song

"This is the song, the version of this song, that got me through my last year in high school. I existed in typical teenage malaise and this was one of the few songs that cheered me up EVERY time I listened to it. You can't be grumbly before morning classes after listening to someone "ding-a-ding-dang my dang-a-long ling-long." Really."
