Friday on my Mind 182: On the Road Again
Posted in Music, 1960s, Friday On My Mind at 12:00 on 30 August 2019
An authentic blues song (it might not start, “Well I woke up this morning,” but each verse’s first line is repeated,) Canned Heat adapted On the Road Again from a Floyd Jones song which was itself derived from older blues material. Everything builds on everything. The drone effect (cf bagpipes) is as old as time. Well, as old as written music.
At the time it was released in the UK in 1968 it stood out from its surroundings.
