Singing About Sykesville

by Snally Gaster on May 27, 2011

Teenagers Crossfire recently recorded a nice video in Sykesville, but they’re not the first. Oh no. That honor goes to Claude Jones, who way back when, wearing a cowboy hat and a big mustache, recorded “Sykesville.” And boy is it fun. There sure weren’t no Baldwin’s station in those days.

Let the cold wind blow, now let the cold wind blow
When you ain’t got nothing. You ain’t got nothing at all.
They took me out to Sykesville. They put me in a cage.

Now Claude isn’t actually a guy, he’s a band, and they recorded Sykesville for Sweet Breeze records.

Check out their site and photo gallery. Alas, no more shots of Sykesville.
