"Tobacco Road" is a blues song written and first recorded by John D. Loudermilk in December 1959 and released in 1960. This song became a hit for The Nashville Teens in 1964 and has since become a standard across several musical genres.
The English group The Nashville Teens' garage rock/blues rock rendering was a bold effort featuring prominent piano, electric guitar, and bass drum parts and a dual lead vocal. Mickie Most produced it with the same tough-edged-pop feel that he brought to The Animals' hits. "Tobacco Road" was a trans-Atlantic pop hit in 1964, reaching number 6 on the UK singles chart and number 14 on the U.S. singles chart. While the Teens would have some further success in the UK, in the U.S. "Tobacco Road" became another one-hit wonder of the British Invasion.
Jefferson Airplane recorded a version of "Tobacco Road" on their first album, Jefferson Airplane Takes Off, in 1966. It was one of only two songs on their first album not written by a member of the band. Takes Off is the only album they recorded with their original lead singer Signe Anderson.
British psychedelic band Spooky Tooth recorded a version in 1968 for their debut album, It's All About.

For many years I thought this was an American group. They are British.

This was total cool 60's British. Todays music is crap so It's going to take the British to bring cool music again. Masterpiece Sammy !!

Thanks Sandy!

Some of the things that I love about this song is the changing tempo and abrupt stops. It adds so much that regular songs don't have.

👍Well done, Smurf!
The drummer, Barry Jenkins, left the band and joined The Animals by 1966. He's pictured on the cover of their "Animalization" (US '66), replacing their original drummer, John Steele, who's pictured on the LP's back cover.
"Tobacco Road" was also covered by The Blues Magoos on their debut LP (1966).
