King of the Road...
Hey my Dad had the same record... it was one of the few us kids were allowed to play on the Zenith flip down record player. Here's a quickie I did at the dining room table (we don't actually have a dining room) right about the time we started the whole house total destruction and remodel. http://harmoniccycle.com/...20the%20Road%2012a.mp3 I did it in a couple hours and saved it to the hard drive. I think at the time I was trying to see just how much "too compressed" was "to compressed" because I had recently purchased two compressors. I think I found out. :-) I kinda liked the soft swing this version seemed to end up with. The extra vocal seems goofy now that I have some perspective on it. :-) Hey baps... maybe we can audio snap the two and go hard left and right? :-) Off to the football game. best regards, mike I was in rush to go to work this morning... I came back and fixed the grammar and spelling. :-)

That sounded good. Brought back some memories for me as well.
My dad's preference is England Swings. He can really whistle and liked to tweet along with it.
We used to do King Of The Road back in my oldies country band days.
Thanks,
Bub

Great cover of a classic! The mix gave me that sitting around just jamming vibe. KUDOS!

Comparing the two vocal styles, it's a tough call.

What is this, a battle of the bands? I've heard this song covered many times, but never like yours or Ed's. I will stop before it's too late.

I think yourself, McQ and I would make a great barber-shop trio. Anyone heard of Sweeny Todd?
