The Bless You Boys song was a classic for the Tiger’s 1984 season. 39 years ago. Big Jim’s House mornings WCSX had another music challenge for me to ask our friend Motor City Josh Ford and his recording studio The Sound Shop in Macomb Township. To Update the Bless You Boys song, and update the sound for the 2024 season. Josh Ford who is a huge baseball fan of our hometown team accepted the challenge.

The Success Of Forward Down The Field
Motorcity Josh the owner of The Sound Shop recording did a makeover of the Detroit Lions Gridiron song. Jim O’brien asked if Motor City Josh would take on the challenge of a Lions song makeover. Josh agreed and got the help of another Detroit rock and roll icon Dave Edwards from the band, The Look, and the backbone of the project on the drums Todd Glass whose credits include drumming on lots of local bands’ albums and being part of Motorcity Josh & The Big 3. Enjoy The New 2023 Detroit Lions Fight song. Lions went on to 12-5 last season with maybe a little help from the new song.
