Going To Canada - Joe Louis Walker

Going To Canada - Joe Louis Walker
3:54
JLW, 1994
Written by Joe Louis Walker

This is a burning electric blues with hints of both Chicago and Delta traditions fused together.  It features some expert harmonica work by the great James Cotton backing up Walker's traditional blues guitar licks.  It's a sentiment that's all too easy to share right now.  Just get out, take Highway five up through Seattle.  They can't hold me here, at least for now.  "I gotta get on up outta here, peoples / Just to soothe my worried mind."  I agree; when can we leave?
