Hit The Road Jack (2026): Am/136
This is my cover of Hit The Road Jack by Nippy Brown & Kip Anderson. Written by the rhythm and blues singer Percy Mayfield and recorded by Ray Charles in 1961. It has been covered by numerous artists but I found the version by Nippy Brown & Kip Anderson had more of a blues flavor which I liked. I came up with a few of my own parts on this.
