Although Big Bill Broonzy and Jazz Gillum were not the first to record this song, it is their version that is considered as the standard 8 bar blues "Key To the Highway". Piano player Charlie Segar recorded it earlier but his version was a 12 bar blues.

I tried to add some unusual variatons to this 'done to the death' song ;-)

Key of E, standard tuning

I'm playing a dobro made by Joseph Yanuziello

very fine cover. I never understood why Jazz Gillum is relatively forgotten nowadays compared to other bluesman from this era?
