“Deep Purple’s “Highway Star” was one of, if not the first cover song we learned as a band when starting The Jailbirds.
It had everything a band needed to be able to do, packed into one song.
The solos, the rhythms, the vocals, it’s all there, and it’s all on 11.
It is quite a tough song to play, and we saw it as a challenge for ourselves.
It has become the staple song we always cover live when time allows for it!

“Highway Star,” streaming wherever you get your music
We recorded all the guitars, solos and bass parts within a take or two. Practice makes perfect, kids! Then we just had to add the organ parts when Hayden joined the band because they’re just too badass to not include.
We wanted our guitar, bass, and vocal tones on this track to make it our own, purposely altering some parts and putting them through our filters, creating a cover version that is authentic to us as a band.
We hope that you enjoy our take on this upbeat and bluesy classic rock anthem!”
