I'm listening to a new album by Isaac Freeman, bass singer for the Fairfield Four. This is his first solo album, at the age of 74. After a lifetime of singing a capella, he's backed by a wonderful Nashville blues band called the Bluebloods. One the album, the first cut is a song I haven't heard, that I'd really like to get more words to. He only sings one verse.

The song is Standing on the Highway

"As I walked down the lonesome highway
You know my heart was lifted up with prayer
Mu Mother said son, son don't you worry
I know the Lord surely will make a way
But as I walked down the lonesome highway
You know my heart was lifted up with prayer
She left me standing out on the Highway, Lord
Lord I was just wondering which way to go

She left me standing, Mother left me standing,
Mother left mE standing, out on the highway
just wondering which way to go

And then he starts improvising,

My Mother's gone and left, she's gone and left me all alone
My Mother left me out on the highway
Just wondering which way to go

Just keep on marchin, Just keep on Marchin'
I'll never get tired, out on the highway
Just wondering which way to go

Allright, Dicho and Masato, start flippin' them pages and see if you have any more verses...

This one is a keeper. So is the album.
