This past Sunday, Bob Stroud took a road trip on his weekly Rock and Roll Roots Show. Me being a big-time Roadie, I just had to listen to it. Not every song was a road song as he always does birthdays, and makes me feel old (Thanks a lot, Bob). When he does a birthday, he also plays a song by them.
Since these are Road Songs, I will also list them on the RoadDog's Roadlog Blog. But, since music is such a BIG part of my life, I'll list them here with my comments.
2120 SOUTH MICHIGAN AVENUE-- ROLLING STONES-- Instrumental recorded in a visit to Chicago's Chess Studios, located at that address. The Stones were much influenced by music from here.
VENTURA HIGHWAY-- AMERICA-- Come on, let's get those harmonies going.
EASY STREET-- EDGAR WINTER GROUP-- Never heard of this one before
ON THE ROAD AGAIN-- CANNED HEAT-- Favorite song by them
EXPRESSWAY TO YOUR HEART-- SOUL SURVIVORS-- Great party song. Get those dancing shoes on.
HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED-- BOB DYLAN-- Great song about the BLUES HIGHWAY. I especially like the intro. Like no other Dylan song.
THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD-- BEATLES-- Don't much like this one even if Sir Paul is on Route 66 right now. Too slow and gag.
WHY DON'T WE DO IT IN THE ROAD-- Beatles-- Is this nasty or not? Do what?
CAREFREE HIGHWAY-- GORDON LIGHTFOOT-- How do you beat a good Gord song?
TAKE THE HIGHWAY-- MARSHALL TUCKER BAND-- Great song except that extended jam. Still like "Fire on the Mountain" the best.
To Be Continued...
Keep on Rocking Down the Highway. --RoadDog
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
