Description
Ray McKinley-drums, ‘Doc’ Goldberg-bass, Freddie Slack-piano. Recorded over the years by various jazz, blues, and rock artists, this was one of several popular 1940s ‘boogie-woogie’ themed hits written by Don Raye, who is heard here trading lines with McKinley (the label incorrectly credits Bradley as vocalist).
The original 78rpm single was issued on Columbia 35707 - Down The Road A Piece (Don Raye) by the Will Bradley Trio, vocals by Ray McKinley & Don Raye, recorded in NYC August 12, 1940
