Song written for upcoming Route 66 festival

Joe Loesch and singer Don King, who front a musical group called The Road Crew, have written and recorded a song “The Road to Amarillo,” specifically for the upcoming International Route 66 Festival in Amarillo, Texas.

You can hear the song here:

A few years ago, The Road Crew recorded an album specifically about Route 66, “Songs of the Mother Road,” and have performed at several Route 66 events. And, yes, it will perform from 2 to 3 p.m. June 11 in downtown Amarillo during the 2011 festival. But this is the first time the group has recorded a song for one event.

The Road Crew also plans to produce a video for “The Road to Amarillo,” and want Route 66 fans to help provide footage and images for it. Loesch says he can accept video footage in a 16×9 format on chips or a miniDV, and he can take still photos for the project as well. Loesch can be reached at roadcrew66(at)me(dot)com.
