Snooky Pryor - Im Getting Tired Going Back On The Road
Review by Jill Lampi
Im Getting Tired Going Back On The Road by Snooky Pryor is a blues album that captures the essence of traditional blues. The album is a mix of original compositions and covers of classic blues songs, all performed with Pryor's signature harmonica playing and soulful vocals.
The album's title track, "I'm Getting Tired Going Back On The Road," is a standout with its driving rhythm and Pryor's bittersweet lyrics about life on the road. "Judgment Day" is another highlight, with its haunting harmonica intro and Pryor's powerful vocals.
The album also features some great covers, including a lively version of "Shake Your Money Maker" and a soulful take on "Key to the Highway."
