"Ventura Highway"
Composer: Dewey Bunnell
Performers: The Vocal Chords (feat. The Cud Chewing Cows)
"Ventura Highway" is a 1972 song by the band America from their album Homecoming.
Dewey Bunnell, the song's vocalist and writer, has said that the lyric "alligator lizards in the air" in the song is a reference to the shapes of clouds in the sky he saw in 1963 while his family was driving down the coast from Vandenberg Air Force Base near Lompoc, California where they had a flat tire. While his father changed the tire, he and his brother stood by the side of the road and watched the clouds and saw a road sign for "Ventura”.
Covers
In 2012, the song was recorded by the famous private party band The Gypsy Queens for their album The Gypsy Queens, featuring Booker T. Jones, as well as Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell (author of the song) of the original America line up. The album was produced by multiple grammy winner producer Larry Klein. It was recorded at Jim Henson Studios in Los Angeles, (Jim Henson Company). The Album reached #46 in the English charts.
“The Vocal Chords” are performing in this recording.
