Another Puzzle about cars, and songs about cars, and the artists who recorded those songs. This installment again spans the scale from "this is ridiculously easy" to "what, are you kidding me?!

The rules are thus: No points for naming one of these cars - they are all quite easy. The points will be awarded for identifying the artist (1 point each), the song (1 point each), and the correct pairing (1 point each) as represented by a corresponding picture of a car, or an automotive event. While many of these artist have gone onto more mundane walks of life, or that recording studio in the sky, and their records may be long-since out-of-print, there are no insider-only "you have to have the book" requirements. Patience and good detective work is all that is required to find the solution to all of these. The answers are all available to the general public.

Here they are - enjoy:


The Mods


Harry Chapin


The Turtles


The Hergs


Robert Earl Keen


Link Wray


Opus1


My Twin Sister Lulu


Ides of March


Legendary Stardust Cowboy


Truth and Janey


Billy Lee Riley

That's him. FYI, guessing multiple songs in one reply is a no-no. As are new, I'll lock this one  until you pick one.

I'll go with song 5 as "The Road Goes on Forever..."

THEY'RE BACK!
Artist 14 is Clifton Chénier. Have to find the song, though.

EDIT: What about pairing him with the 1969 Continental limo (Song 4) through his 1970 song " Me and my chauffeur blues"?

Artists 7 are the California band Opus1, to be paired with Car Song 8 " Back Seat '38 Dodge" (inspired by the Ed Kienholz sculpture that was the subject of one of my Art& Cars puzzle). I think that Otto did find a picture of the dirty rear seat of a real 1938 2-door Dodge Touring Sedan that almost matches Kienholz's piece!
Unfortunately, Otto, Kienholz's Dodge was a 2-door indeed, but the REAR doors ;)

That's him - but not that song.

That's him - but not that song.

He also cut a song called "Hot Rod "( among many). Is it this one (Song #2)?

Yes! I have to have at least one Hot Rod song in each of these puzzles.  ;D
