His knock down best was Six Days on the Road. When you listen to that song, you realize that it would actually sound much better if some talented boogie-woogie blues pianist would cover it, rather than using the CW idiom. Nobody's done it that I know of.

I didn’t do that one because surely everyone already knows it. I’ve heard maybe two dozen covers over the years. Don’t think I ever heard one built around piano, though. Interesting thought.

Try this one, which at leas has a piano in the foreground:

There are quite a few that try, heck even George Thorogood has covered it - but think 'Amos Milburn' style. With a boogie riff you could run the gears and hit the Jake brake, musically. I wish I had the talent.

I hear you. I wish I could write songs, and not just poems.
