Heist/ crime songs


Just listened to Charlie Robisons “desperate times” great heist gone wrong song , right up there with “the road goes on forever “ I can’t really think of any popular or rock for that matter crime tunes. They’re all Americana or country .?

Great memories everyone!  In 1968 Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames recorded "The Ballad Of Bonnie and Clyde" and it was a Top 10 hit.

“Trudy and Dave” and “Tennessee Plates” both by John Hiatt on the spectacular Sliw Turning album
