Lay Right Down and Die

Liner Notes
Lyrics
Got my radio on Got my rider by my side Got my radio on Got my rider by my side Got myself in a bind Just can't lay right down and die
Got a jump on the sun Hit the road before it was light Got a jump on the sun Hit the road before it's light Heard there's a place on the horizon Where you can lay right down and die
I heard that song about the right key And the wrong keyhole Heard a song about the right key And the wrong keyhole No matter how I try I just can't lay right down and die
Got my radio on Got my rider by my side Got my radio on Got my rider by my side Got myself in a bind Just can't lay right down and Lay right down and Lay right down and die

I was shuffle dancing in my chair from those first lines on.
Great soulful blues delivery in both vocal and guitar. The harp interludes lift it too. Love that run down on the bass strings between lines.
Who said "You can't do anything new with the blues"? He hadn't come across @klyma !
RIGHT ON

Oh, yeah. This has a great groove going on. Loving the harmonica, too.
