Bob Stroud's Summer Road Trip

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
