God damn man. I’m 32 and all I heard in my parents car going anywhere was golden oldies and this style of classic free rock n roll. This all needs to come back. It touches the soul.
I love how it's a type 3 bus or whatever they're like vintage and not vintage at the same time, getting the vintage angle out of non-vintage scenes. that's nice

It's been a long long ride, Don't know where I'll sleep tonight. Oh under the stars Or maybe in your bed alright. Against the wind I crossed your desert today. Don't care what you say Cause baby I'm goin'a stay. Yeah I'll comb this whole beach over Trying to find the love that'll stay. It's been a long, long journey Don't know where I left my mind. Down in the canyon Or maybe in the back of your ride. I'm heading down by the river To kill your daddy tonight And by the break of day You know that we'll be outta sight. Girl I'll search this whole world over Trying to find the love that'll stay
It's a classic in obscure 60s collecting. That same band (The Roots) had some other winning sides as well. Lost One is a great one! Though it should also be noted that they were also known as the Wyld. *They were some teens from South Carolina! I uploaded the song on my old channel ages ago. OldSchoolHero66. If you like stuff like this or that, maybe stop by this one. :) Anyway! I was just glad to see people fall for the original like I and this band did. So good!

Hi I start by saying that i love what the Allah-Las are doing - HOWEVER on this 45 they credit this track to themselves which is NOT TRUE as it is a straight cover of "It's Been a Long Journey" by THE ROOTS released in 1966 on the BROWNFIELD label and written by Rudy Wyatt. This is a highly sought after Garage collectable selling in the $500 region.
This is maybe my favorite song in existence and when I found the original a few years ago I was really entertained by this fact. Today, I was bored at work and wrote the lyrics of the two songs side-by-side and I gotta say that it's a very very different song. Of course, credit to original is 100% deserved, but I would not say it's a "straight cover". I imagine if The Roots and Rudy Wyatt could be told in 1966 that some random band from California would lovingly cover their song but could also hear it I'm sure they'd be blown away by what they'd hear. I also got to listen to Avid Dancer's version as well. Very cool version, too.
@@kylegeib9161 I am a songwriter in Nashville and Rudy Wyatt is a friend of mine since he was 15 and I was 19. I met him in a music store one Saturday and he was playing "Flight Of The Bumble Bee" on a Stratocaster off the shelf there. I was impressed and took him in the studio to record some stuff. He is 74 now and getting a bit of Dementia. I hooked him up with the producer in Texas who had gotten my band with a national label out of Philadelphia. Then "It's been a Long Journey" came out as his first record. He calls most every week to chat a little and two weeks ago, he told me that he got a check for over $5000 and was excited about that. I just listened to this cut by this band and it sounds a whole lot like him singing, except better, because he was 16 and went a bit flat a few times. However, honestly, I think Rudy's guitar parts were better done than the guy here. He came to a concert for this band in Asheville, NC, and I have a picture on my Facebook page of him backstage talking to them. I was just on the U tube watching a couple of fishing videos and some of my 15 or so songs that people have put on the tube and remembered Rudy telling me about getting another Royalty check from Sony Music, and decided to listen to Allah-Las again and then saw your comment. I think they did make it a little longer arrangement, but back then this producer liked for everything to run between 2:15 and 2:50. He said it was easier to get program directors to play them. I like this new version fine. The singer actually sings it better and on key always. lol But I do like Rudy's guitar better. Hey! Rudy took up piano in the mid-seventies and became one of the top 5 Boogie Woogie piano players in the world. He has played all over the world, including Disney World too. There are several videos of him on the tube. One is "Swanee River Boogie" by Rudy "Blue Shoes" Wyatt. After that it would show you some others I guess. Anyway I thought I would give you my opinion, and some info on Rudy. Hope you didn't mind.
aaaalmost like this better than the original... which is by a band called roots, btw! the song is on an excellent garage comp called fort worth teen scene and everyone reading this should give the series a listen! :)
+Isabel Rodriquez lol, I do realize I sound snobbish, but what else can I do when I have been listening to Garage Rock for like over 30 years now. I can't even remember when I bought the Fort Worth volume of the Teen Scene series. For good Garage compilations, try Back from the Grave, Pebbles, Nuggets, Monsters of the Midwest, Mind Rocker, Acid Dreams and so on - or become a member of the Garage Punk, Surf , Psych, Wild Rock & Roll, Trash, Punk Rock & Fuzz group on FB where many people, including myself, daily post badass Garage Rock or Surf instros and anything related. As where the Allah Las are concerned, as stated previously, I just wonder how far can copyism go? When will we actually hear Allah Las instead of other bands like the Standells? They're like the Chesterfield Kings in the 80's - just like them a case of copyism taking way too far. I mean, the Lyres were a Sixties Garage revival band too as were others, but they at least had a recognizable sound. NB: the New England volume of the Teen Scene series is imo the best one. Cheers. Edit: I actually don't post daily - only on Friday and Saturday :)
I believe the one singing this song in particular is the drummer. I feel he sounds a little similar to the vocalist of the seeds or 13th floor elevators though the drummer isnt an aggressive singer.
@@grimyghostface4533 The Roots - "It's Been a Long Journey" I would link you but RUclips no longer allows it. Just search that exactly and it will be the first video in the search results
This song has to be influenced from the Doors the lyrics are Poetic with a dark side about killing your daddy which is much like Jim Morrison and surf guitar riffs similar to Robbie Krigerer.
Based on what you just said, I'm pretty sure you didn't actually read my last reply, or at least didn't understand it. They chose that name probably because it best suited them, and their personalities or music.

I could hear this song on repeat for hours.
Well, that's exactly what I'm doing :)
This was probably my favorite song from when they preformed. The drummer's voice was just amazing.

One of my favorite albums of the decade.

Best song on the album, intro is perfect.
It's been a long long ride,
Don't know where I'll sleep tonight.
Oh under the stars
Or maybe in your bed alright.
Against the wind
I crossed your desert today.
Don't care what you say
Cause baby I'm goin'a stay.
Yeah I'll comb this whole beach over
Trying to find the love that'll stay.
It's been a long, long journey
Don't know where I left my mind.
Down in the canyon
Or maybe in the back of your ride.
I'm heading down by the river
To kill your daddy tonight
And by the break of day
You know that we'll be outta sight.
Girl I'll search this whole world over
Trying to find the love that'll stay

Ordered this album. Should be arriving today....bastard better!
and a bloody good cover. probs the best garage cover i've heard
The Roots - It's Been A Long Journey, 1965.
Check out the Avid Dancer version as well.
+FOALS Thank you for posting this! It took me forever to try and find the original!
Thanks for saying that.. im in love with that song now.
Jerk Store The Roots version from 1965 has different lyrics also, outside of the chorus.
It's a classic in obscure 60s collecting. That same band (The Roots) had some other winning sides as well. Lost One is a great one! Though it should also be noted that they were also known as the Wyld. *They were some teens from South Carolina!

Max Stacks This is my Dads song From The Roots plus The Wyld . He’s still kicking it man . He’s from Greenville SC . Rudy Blueshoes
just glad this sound is back. Don't care about the reasons.
Just ran across these guys. Better late than never. So cool old school.
Sorry. i don't understand but listening to this. I'm like Woodstock 1969.....
wish we got vibes like this out of calico :(
Love the guitar riff...
it is a cover.... from 1965.... the roots- It's Been A Long Journey
Adding this to my future road trip playlist.
this is how I want my life travel to sound like
When are these guys going to come to Greece for a concert again?

Saw them live at fingerprints. The singer hugged me. He hugged me oh my god.
Wow...Allah-Las together with the Growlers...this is going to be great!!
Just found this song and artist today . Good music to relax to
I have too many memories to this song.
This song. Everyday anytime 🙂
Rather sinister, trippy vibe which rides well with the b&w video. Good post. TY. EDIT: Pandemic Daze 2020 mood music & it still sounds good.

my favorite band it is
I saw them live on saturday. I didn't know this is sung by the drummer :O
i approve of your musical taste
The Roots original in danger! The Allah-Las perfectly match the original!!!
Lyrics are very different.
Singer sounds like Jim Morrison when he was a 15 yearold (drunk).. good song
TheLamb2 everybody sound like morrison , no bullshit the doors not is the only band in the 60's what a twat
TheLamb2 I wonder if he took them to the desert to consume Peyote lol
I believe the one singing this song in particular is the drummer. I feel he sounds a little similar to the vocalist of the seeds or 13th floor elevators though the drummer isnt an aggressive singer.
fanno i tuffi nello stesso fiume di Jim Morrison....
Love dat sound :)
I like this better than the original.
sooo chill
love ittt
Great tune
so so good.
Great song
It's Louie, Louie!
I can't seem to make you mine
@@dusix66 The 13th Floor Elevators meet The Seeds meet The Troggs.
great band
this is awesome, like a better growlers
Amaaazing.
Heard this last week on a NPR show. It stuck. Has that feel of a song I've know my whole life yet never heard. Does that make sense?
Yes. Makes sense. Like all of Led Zep IV. Seems like music that has always existed and always will.
Fkn love this song
Puuure 60´s
ofcourse i agree, sounds good.
damn... amazing...
Do you agree with me that they did a good job slowing it down?
nostalgic!!!
Why does nowhere credit this as a cover originally recorded by The Roots in 65?
Name of the song?
@@grimyghostface4533 The Roots - "It's Been a Long Journey"
I would link you but RUclips no longer allows it. Just search that exactly and it will be the first video in the search results
Thanks for this information...I didn't know that. Checked out the original and it's true. Nevertheless, this is a great song, as is the original.
I'm getting more & more stoned to this song
Nice. Nothing wrong with getting stoned to Allah-Las.
check out their Rolling Stones cover of "Stoned"! good shit.
homage to the seeds...
Skobo Mcgurk this does sound like the seeds holy shit
i don wan listen to modern song anymore... dis is fukin rule!
true story.. but my opinion is... this sounds much better!
This song has to be influenced from the Doors the lyrics are Poetic with a dark side about killing your daddy which is much like Jim Morrison and surf guitar riffs similar to Robbie Krigerer.
massaaa

È un bel rock elegante...*) ci piace *)
