Highway 61

Oh God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son”
Abe says, “Man, you must be puttin’ me on”
God say, “No.” Abe say, “What?”
God say, “You can do what you want Abe, but
The next time you see me comin’ you better run”
Well Abe says, “Where do you want this killin’ done?”
God says, “Out on Highway 61”

Willie Dixon: Seventh Son
Now the fifth daughter on the twelfth night
Told the first father that things weren’t right
My complexion she said is much too white
He said come here and step into the light, he says hmm you’re right
Let me tell the second mother this has been done
But the second mother was with the seventh son
And they were both out on Highway 61

Blues Mandolin – 61 Highway on a Daniel Brauchli mandolin
Roosevelt Sykes was the first one to record a “61 Highway” blues in 1931, after that many bluesmen sang about it. Nowadays Mississippi Fred McDowell’s slide version is the best known. It’s after hearing Charlie Pickett’s flatpicked version I got the idea to give it a try on the mandolin, of course using all the clichés created by mandolin greats Yank Rachell and Johnny Young. I’m playing out of the key of G, a half step down. The mandolin was made by Daniel Brauchli, who lives in Tasmania.
