This is a song about Highway 61 coming from Mississippi into Memphis Tennessee. It is commonly known as the Blues Highway. I use BB King as the name of the highway. I am a big fan of BB. BIAB gave me the drums, piano, and Bass, I put in the guitars, vocals, and lyrics, HA. Also this was my first recording with my new Tascam 24sd recorder, I have been using a Roland 880 ex for a little over 20 years. Enjoy Cliff

I enjoyed the trip! I'm glad you clarified it was "BB" King... even though there's also Albert and Freddy, it stupidly hadn't occurred to me that's what the title meant.  Fun song!

Hey Clifton. I was driving that highway with my sister on a road trip to the States a couple of years ago when I went to visit Donald Gaynor. Brings back some lovely memories. Thank you

I'm a B.B. fan too since the 70s. Taking a trip down Highway 61 is on my bucket list, one of these days we will do it.
Good tune, enjoyed the listen.

Really nice work on this one It's a wonderful ode to the classic blues sound, but with a modern twist. The percussion in particular I found to be an interesting choice, and a unique fit to the groove. Your vocals are top notch here too. Great job here - thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Deryk

Cool song!! And always fun to think of BB. One of my favorite quotes is BB's response to advice to young guitar players: "Don't be afraid to play a whole note". Not sure it's true but it's a good story, and this is a good song!! Very live, natural, with a great vocal! Enjoyed!! Take care. Greg

Thank You Floyd, getting a song to flow with a rythym is the best way for me to write an original. If it is choppy, I will have a tough time singing and playing it. I have had to abort a lot of songs because of that. I have learned to write the feel of the song, icing I guess instead of trying to explain the song in lyrics. Writers will understand what I am saying here. That smooths out the process, may leave out some of the story , but, it gives me a good flowing song pattern.

Hey Cliff,
Really cool song. Everything is spot on - top shelf all the way. The backing tracks were totally perfect and your vocal was a nice topping for the cake. Terrific listen.
Back in '52, '5 and '54 my father owned a bar in Highway 61 - but it was just outside Troy, Missouri. But I've driven Highway 61 through memphis more than a few times.
Great song and delivery!
Alan

Man you played this with authority! Excellent all the way. Your axe playing is second to none and your timing is perfect for this song.
I could listen to a whole CD or album of songs like this.

Nothing to do with intelligence. I go to sleep if left unattended for 15 minutes.
