IвЂ™ve played this song hundreds of times - with every band IвЂ™ve played in or with. Song 3: Sonny Terry with Woody Guthrie, вЂњGoinвЂ™ Down This Road FeelinвЂ™ BadвЂќ The opening harmonica riff is something I play nearly every day, just to warm up. But WilsonвЂ™s harmonica has a distinct country-acoustic feel that I prefer, not overly amplified as in most Chicago-style blues. The boogie riff itself is a basic E/G/A blues chord pattern adapted from John Lee HookerвЂ™s вЂњ Boogie ChillenвЂќ from 1949. His tambura at the beginning and end reinforces his hypnotic one-chord drone on guitar to give it an exotic, Eastern flair.

Harmonica player Alan Wilson, also known as Blind Owl, provides the distinctive falsetto as well as a harmonica performance for the ages. It is a remake of the 1953 Floyd Jones song of the same name, which is based on Tommy JohnsonвЂ™s вЂњBig Road BluesвЂќ, recorded in 1928. вЂњ On the Road AgainвЂќ appeared on Boogie with Canned Heat in 1968. The second song I learned, at age 15, is still the most often requested when I play live. Song 2: Alan Wilson of Canned Heat, вЂњOn The Road AgainвЂќ It was not a well known album, and it was probably not his best album, but it was a turning point for me. The album crossed the lines between protest folk, blues, and jazz, from the pioneer of the British blues and the mentor of Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Jeff Beck.

I learned about breathing, pacing, and playing rhythm. I was barely 15, in my first band, and вЂњRoom to MoveвЂќ became my signature tune. Turning Point, a John MayallВ live album from a 1969 concert at the Fillmore East, kicked me in the ass and launched my harmonica career.
