Now THAT’S interesting, @slaw. Though originally a hit for Dave Dudley, the first version of "Six Days On The Road" I heard was that by Taj Mahal in ’69. The guys I was musically involved with then started performing it live shortly thereafter; always a hit with audiences!
Steve Earle does a great version of the song. I admit I’m surprised to learn Petty and his boys were doing the song, most likely due to its ties to The Byrds (Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman did the song whilst in The Flying Burrito Brothers, another real good version).
