Riding across Mississippi clean
And I was on that midnight flier out of Birmingham
Smoking into New Orleans"

I first heard this song when David Bowie covered it on his 2002 Heathen album. It's a real experience to hear the original.

Flip to another cracker, #Lucille - cut in #NewOrleans - a classic slow rocker and one that a horde of later #SwampPop artists would take on board - #RocknRollCLASSIC
