Alan Jackson - Mercury Blues

About "Mercury Blues"

"Mercury Blues" is a song written by rural blues musician K. C. Douglas and Robert Geddins, and first recorded by Douglas in 1948. The song, originally titled "Mercury Boogie," pays homage to the American automobile marque, which ended production in 2010.Rights to the song were purchased by the Ford Motor Company (who already owned the Mercury marque). Ford, in turn, used it for a 1996 television commercial featuring Alan Jackson singing his version of the song with the word "Mercury" replaced by the words "Ford Truck."The song has been covered by many musicians. Among the most notable versions are ones by country musician Alan Jackson in 1993, rock musician David Lindley, from his 1981 album El Rayo-X, and rock musician Steve Miller, from his 1976 album Fly Like an Eagle. Lindley's single peaked at number 34 on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
