For a song called "Streets of Bakersfield " I was expecting gun shots, crack heads begging, and car horns playing for a few minutes

Love this. So many really great covers out there too. The most surprising I’ve heard was the Irish American Ceilidh band “The Whooligans” perform it at the Old Dubliner in Long Beach.
