geoMp3 of The Week: “Eight More Miles to Louisville” (Hundreds Until this Statler Series Ends)

Two things are wrong with this idea of doing all of the Statler Brothers geomp3s at once.

  • It has to be laborious and boring to 99.99% of whomever reads these.
  • Not all of the songs The Statlers do about places are worth a shit.
  • It’s laborious and boring to me.
  • The Statlers aren’t that interesting musically and therefore I default to complaining about their small town, religious perspectives.

    • Okay, four things (at least). But I’ve fallen behind and need to catch up, so let’s just tighten our rhinestoned rainbow belts and roll up our corded leisure suit sleeves and get through this.

    This week’s track is “Eight More Miles to Louisville,” and it’s about how now matter how much they (I’ll just presume The Statlers themselves are the protagonists here) travel the country, they knew they would always return to their beloved Louisville (replace that with Virgina to make it factually biographical). “It’s an okay song,” says geoLibro, punting on a decent analysis. It does seem to blush with excitement, for what that’s worth. And they at least give us a couple of easy themes and images (girl waiting for us at home, the picture of your home town appearing into your view as the road crests). Plus it’s a rarer geomp3 because it cites a relative location this time (eight miles away from a named place). As for which way they’re approaching Louisville? I’ll presume they’re coming in on Indiana State Hwy 64 from the west somewhere since it’s farther and therefore more dramatic. That will put them a little east of Georgetown, IN
