Cars & Tunes #4 - Solved by Aaron65, Ray B., pnegyesi, Tom_I and barrett

[Otto Puzzell]

Another Puzzle about cars, and songs about cars, and the artists who recorded those songs. This installment again spans the scale from "this is ridiculously easy" to "what, are you kidding me?!

The rules are thus: No points for naming one of these cars - they are all quite easy. The points will be awarded for identifying the artist (1 point each), the song (1 point each), and the correct pairing (1 point each) as represented by a corresponding picture of a car, or an automotive event. While many of these artist have gone onto more mundane walks of life, or that recording studio in the sky, and their records may be long-since out-of-print, there are no insider-only "you have to have the book" requirements. Patience and good detective work is all that is required to find the solution to all of these. The answers are all available to the general public.

Here they are - enjoy:

I can't see the clues...is it just my computer?

[Aaron65]

Is Artist 14 and Song 12 Wilson Pickett and Mustang Sally?

[Allemano]

No, it's your impatience!

Incredible hard puzzle methinks....

[Otto Puzzell]

Is Artist 14 and Song 12 Wilson Pickett and Mustang Sally?

No, and no.

It's a mix of easy and difficult.

[Aaron65]

Artist #2  Harry Chapin  Song #3 Taxi???

And I'm not impatient...just a little...Ok I'm impatient. 

[Aaron65]

Is artist 5 Robert Earl Keen Jr.?  Maybe song 5 is "The Road Goes on Forever?"  If not, song 9 could be "Daddy had a Buick."

[Oguerrerob]

artist 3 Herman's Hermits
artist 11 Emerson, Lake & Palmer
artist 14 Otis Redding

[Otto Puzzell]

Artist #2  Harry Chapin  Song #3 Taxi???

Yes

[Otto Puzzell]

That's him. FYI, guessing multiple songs in one reply is a no-no. As are new, I'll lock this one  until you pick one.

[Otto Puzzell]

artist 3 Herman's Hermits
artist 11 Emerson, Lake & Palmer
artist 14 Otis Redding

Three times no

[Aaron65]

I'll guess

I'll go with song 5 as "The Road Goes on Forever..."

[Aaron65]

Artist #1 Dick Dale and the DelTones--Song #12 "Wild, Wild Mustang"

[Otto Puzzell]

no

Artist #1 Dick Dale and the DelTones--Song #12 "Wild, Wild Mustang"

No and no

THEY'RE BACK!
Artist 14 is Clifton Chénier. Have to find the song, though.

EDIT: What about pairing him with the 1969 Continental limo (Song 4) through his 1970 song " Me and my chauffeur blues"?

Artists 7 are the California band Opus1, to be paired with Car Song 8 " Back Seat '38 Dodge" (inspired by the Ed Kienholz sculpture that was the subject of one of my Art& Cars puzzle). I think that Otto did find a picture of the dirty rear seat of a real 1938 2-door Dodge Touring Sedan that almost matches Kienholz's piece!
Unfortunately, Otto, Kienholz's Dodge was a 2-door indeed, but the REAR doors

[Aaron65]

Is it too late to amend my Robert Earl Keen with Song #9 "Daddy had a Buick?"

That's him - but not that song.

Right artist and song.

Not to late. That's the correct pairing.

That's him - but not that song.

He also cut a song called "Hot Rod "( among many). Is it this one (Song #2)?
