Other than 'Thank God and Greyhound Your Gone,' and 'Waitin' for the Bus' any other songs about buses? Oh yeah, I appreciate your labor.
Ramblin' Man by the Allmans and Clay Pigeons by Blaze Foley come to mind.
Magic Bus
@@kmajor44 I can't believe I overlooked that one.
Christian Lady Talkin' on a Bus by Blaze. A Day in the Life has a line that mentions a bus.
Cross Country Bus by Lee Hazlewood
This channel always features my favourite artists.This time Kevin Russell.. I love me some Shinyribs. Just wish he'd bring one of those old buses across to Scotland , no need to worry about the AC, but a heater might be useful.
Lloyd Maines told us years ago. Never sell your publishing and never buy a bus. Praise The Lloyd!!
That old Shinyribs is a literal inspiration! After seeing him, I had to pick up the guitar and try to learn made me realize that age does not matter on stage.
An episode after my own heart. We toured a couple times with The Dave Mathews Band. The first summer we got home and said “why didn’t we make any money this trip?” The bus of course. Driver,Gas,booking agent booking” gigs too far away etc. Our manager at the time said it “didn’t look good “pulling into 20,000 seat sheds when The DMB had a bus for EACH member. We opted for the van and are still doing it 25 years later. Not as comfy but it gets the job done. Kevin says it’s a rolling green room which it is but as our bass player puts it,it’s a rolling petri dish. If we gazillionaires sure,I’d love it. We are not and I would advise any young band to stay away from them and many other things the record company offers you. That’s YOUR money going down the tubes. Love the Shiny Ribs and love your show Otis,keep it up!
Fort Worth here and i fell in love with Kevins work in the Gourds. ShinyRibs puts out an excellent act! Keep up the great work Otis!

I wish everyone knew that plastic water bottles are NOT recyclable. It makes people feel better when they put them in the correct bin, but in reality they aren’t being recycled because it’s just impossible. Also, tap water is perfectly safe. Bottled water is big business and they want people to think otherwise.
really great subject and Kevin intro posing was hilarious.
I always said, "I know the entire southwest backwards and in the dark" because I sat on the dash smoking and talking to the driver all night!
Also, I snored so loud, the artist took a bunk and I had the artist room in the back with a tv, radio, big ass bed, etc...
Please do more with Kevin he made my morning better with his personality 😂.
Just saw ShinyRibs recently in Northern Cali. My first time, real kick ass stuff.
kevin shinyribs russell is a national treasure he is as genuinely nice intelligent compassionate caring talented cool a cat as he sems, which im sure when i get to meet Otis Gibbs in perosn some month year moment i could say the same...and as Shiny Kev says his band the Shinyribb ers are wonderful cool talents as well...in fact the shinytribe fans are awesome cats too...like the fans of Oti Gibb channel....hey! finally clubs that would have us as memebers that we wanna be in! bravo yall
i work at a scrapyard and we're seeing more and more of those ball cups, infinitely recyclable. Alum cans are a really clean, quality alum and the recycled ones are only used to make new cans.
I applaud Kevin’s attempt to recycle and help make the world a better place, however the new technologies often create as much pollution as their predecessor. We have a long way to go. In the meantime why do these (bus owners) business people do such a lousy job of customer service? It takes less effort to do well than to do poorly. I wish Kevin and his band all the best in finding a better way to live while on the road. They deserve it. I’ve said it before, when I booked shows I always made sure our guests were treated like royalty. Then when they talk with other bands they give us a good report. It makes the wheels on the bus go round and round! 😊
We felt for Kevin & the band up in the redwoods in July - the generator was down & I think those busses' AC systems need a huge breaker, like 50A to run off hook-ups. Band didn't seem in a huge rush to get back on it lol.
This is great material. DIY and Bootstrap bands suffer for their art.... and their careers.
Sorry Kevin is having AC problems and hope it’s soon fixed. Loved him striking a pose😀. Yay to getting rid of plastic.
As a teenager, i dreamed of getting in the van. I graduated high school, did my time in the service, got married, had kids, got a house, got divorced, and got into the trades... ~40 years later, its still a dream to get a bus, but its just me right now. No illusions of stardom, I just want to play music.
I appreciate the stories and woeful tales
Thanks, y'all 🙏🏻🤍
Kevin has a great band and he strikes me as agreat band leader
i watch the bus grease monkey all the time the scary part is what he finds on these buses scary as hell..
My gut says Tetra pak (waxed cardboard "juice boxes") but failing that, an agreed upon handful of plastics, each their own tint, to facilitate at least one more upcycle before the landfill.
Kevin and Derek Trucks voices sound almost the exact same.
What’s the #1 rule on the tourbus?
Everyone say it with me!
“No #2 on the bus!”
Good one
Greyhound going somewhere by Bobbie Gentry and Busload of faith by Lou Reed.
Still has to better than six guys sleeping in a van.
My employer got rid of plastic in our lunch room, they provided each person a kit of fancy cutlery that would be washed and reused, they went to paper cups and plates. They assigned each person a day of the month to clean out the fridge, because they got so scuzzy, with unused stuff. Yeah, things can be done.

❤❤👍👍
LP Gas will eliminate the diesel fumes.
👌😉
ya lost me when you went social awareness
Good riddance then.
Yeah that’s so fucked that we can’t use as much plastic as we damn well feel like right?Blow that diesel smoke too! Yeehaw! I love the smell of diesel in the morning !
