Going Down The Road Feeling Bad

Another of our public domain song interpretations.
The song has been recorded by many artists through the years. The first known recording is from 1923 by Henry Whitter, an Appalachian singer, as "Lonesome Road Blues". The earliest versions of the lyrics are from the perspective of an inmate in prison with the refrain, "I'm down in that jail on my knees" and a reference to eating "corn bread and beans". The song has been recorded by many artists such as Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, The Allman Brother, Skeeter Davis, Elizabeth Cotten, and the Grateful Dead.

Janice - lead and harmony vocals.
I played the slide and lead guitar.
Bud recorded Janice, helped with the mix and mastered the song.

I'm going down this road feeling bad
I'm going down this road feeling bad
I'm going down this road feeling bad, bad, bad
And I ain't a-gonna be treated this a-way

They had me in the jailhouse now I'm free
They had me in the jailhouse now I'm free
They had me in the jailhouse now I'm free, free, free
And I ain't a-gonna be treated this a-way

They feed me on corn bread and beans
They feed me on corn bread and beans
They feed me on corn bread and beans, beans, beans
And I ain't a-gonna be treated this a-way

I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine.
I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine.
I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine, wine, wine
And I ain't a-gonna be treated this a-way

I'm goin' where the sun it always shines
I'm goin' where the sun it always shines
I'm goin' where the sun it always shines on me
And I ain't a-gonna be treated this a-way

Hi, Peter.

This confirms my suspicion - blues is nothing but an excuse to play guitar... and to get Janice to sing. wink

Nice, upbeat version.

Both your guitars and the singing Janices (lead and background) sound great here.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Peter, Janice & Bud,

Some really outstanding vocals by Janice - love the uptempo feel of this one. Has grit and bite.

Peter has some wild guitar lines. The drums also sound great. Everything fits so well.

Awesome production - crisp and tight. Sounds great through the speakers. Really fills the room!

Loved it all!

Well, that was a fun listen!

Can't go wrong with Janice on vocal (loved the harmonies!) and Peter on guitar in my book cool

Great slide playing throughout, Peter, and I liked the rock guitar licks you did at the end.

Nice take on an old classic, enjoyed.

Brilliant rocky groove! The voice of Jan the WhOah-man first class as ever. And those guitar solos really make the arrangement.

Oh, man, I always loved playing this one. You three are so good. I like the beat you chose. I quote David Cuny: "blues is nothing but an excuse to play guitar," and man, you do that so well, Peter. Outstanding chops coupled with great taste, and you always select the best singers. And we know that Bud is the master of the mastering. Excellent rendition.


Enjoy whatever happens!

The only thing that struck me as odd is the "flam" on the snare, (the consistency of it reminds me of glam rock with double drummers like The Glitter band)..
The vocals and guitars are, as expected, fabulous but the band is also ace.
You really let your fingers fly on the last solo.
Janice's voice - ah, me. AND Bud's excellent tracking & treatment.


Cheers
