Emmylou Harris brings it in this morning’s CarTune, “SIx White Cadillacs,” from her 2011 album, Hard Bargain. Chris Kuhl photo 

Not long after the launching of Mac’s Motor City Garage.com, a friend informed MCG that while the concept behind the Saturday Morning CarTune was decent enough, it was fatally flawed. “It’ll be good at first,” he said. “But soon you’ll be scraping the bottom of the barrel. There just aren’t enough good car songs to sustain it for very long.”

Ha.

We’;re just getting started.

Not only is there a deep, deep well of great car-themed music to draw from, there’s more coming every week. Here’s a recent tune by Emmylou Harris from her hit CD, Hard Bargain.  The album includes songs about Emmett Till, Graham Parsons, and Kate McGarrigle. And this one:

Six white Cadillacs
Crossin’ on the railroad track
Angels in the front and back
Hey hey hey carry me home

The video performance below, directed by Jack Spencer, is from the bonus DVD included with the deluxe version of the CD. We know you’ll enjoy it.
