The Ides of March "Vehicle"


Check out this one hit wonder rhythm & blues/soul track with horns.  "Vehicle" by The Ides of March, circa 1970.  The band lineup is:

Jim Peterik: lead guitar, lead vocals
Larry Millas: rhythm guitar, keyboards, bass, backing vocals
Bob Bergland: bass, saxophone, backing vocals
Ray Herr: bass, backing vocals
Michael Borch: drums, percussion
John Larson: trumpet, flugelhorn
Chuck Soumar: trumpet, backing vocals


Here is another more modern version of the tune, recorded for the Ides of March 50th anniversary DVD recorded at House of Blues, that was released in 2014.  The song itself, has a very suggestive meaning, but, that being said, it still has quite the groove, especially with the horns playing in unison with the whole of the band.
