“Going Down The Road Feeling Bad” by Delaney and Bonnie and Friends

I cannot speak more highly of musicians than I do now (and as I have previously) with regard to Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett and the “friends” they hung out with.

In this record, Motel Shot, that musical talent included this amazing list:  Delaney Bramlett – guitar, vocals, arranger,  Bonnie Bramlett – vocals, Duane Allman – guitar, Stephen Stills- vocals and perhaps guitar, Ben Benay – guitar, Joe Cocker – vocals, John Hartford – banjo and fiddle, Eddie James – guitar, Jim Keltner – drums, Bobby Keys – saxophone, Eric Clapton – guitar, Dave Mason – guitar, Gram Parsons – guitar and vocals, Carl Radle – bass guitar,Leon Russell – piano and keyboards, Clarence White – guitar and vocals, Bobby Whitlock – vocals, and Jay York – backing vocals.  This is a was a We Are The World kind of assemblage.  Was there ever more talent in any studio?  FYI, Beatle, George Harrison was part of the entourage, and was often in the recording sessions with Delaney and Bonnie, but he somehow missed out on this album.

On top of all this, you take a Woody Guthrie song (happy 100th Woody!) and what you get back is this amazing track.  Enjoy “Going Down The Road Feeling Bad“ which is our song of the day.   HL
