Boogie Woogie : Ricky Nye - "Going To Cincinnati" and 'Down The Road A Piece'

Movie recorded at the annual 5th "Blues and Boogie Reunion" Concert in Terrassa, a town in Spain about 25 km's outside Barcelona.

Ricky Nye (Rick Neiheisel) is based out of Cincinnati, Ohio USA and often plays at many of the big European Festivals.

Of the two songs in the Video, Ricky introduces the first one, "Going to Cincinnati" - thus saving me the need to add anything here.

The second track, "Down the Road a Piece" is a song written in 1940 by Don Raye as a Boogie Woogie for the Will Bradley/Ray McKinley big band. It gained a top 10 hit in the closing months of the year. The song became a standard of Rock and Roll, recorded by at least 96 artists including Amos Milburn, Chuck Berry, The Rolling Stones, Foghat, Bruce Springsteen, Manfred Mann and Jerry Lee Lewis, to name but a few.
