Key To The Highway

Download this episode (3 min)   
"Key to the Highway" is a blues standard first recorded by Charlie Segar in 1940. Segar's original "Key to the Highway" was done in the form of a mid-tempo twelve-bar blues. When Jazz Gillum recorded it later that year, the song became an eight-bar blues, as it is usually known. A year later, Big Bill Broonzy recorded "Key to the Highway," creating the best known of the early versions of the song.
Justin M. Gates plays lead, base and rhythum with "Wheatbread Johnson" providing vocals.
