Key to the Highway
Another for the Song Hall of Fame... "Key to the Highway" by Derek and the Dominos.
This is an old blues song that was covered by Eric Clapton et al on the Layla album, which I love. I've been listening to music a lot on my work trips around Ireland, mostly, over the past few months... so just the idea of a song about the highway really fits in with my life lately. It's a long song, over 9 minutes... it actually starts part way into the song, fades in, because the recording equipment hadn't been turned on when they started to jam... which was all this was - a spontaneous jam between Eric Clapton and Duane Allman of a song they played between takes.
