L.A.Freeway - chords, tab and comments
I first heard this song performed by Jerry Jeff Walker, who in 1975 was the first one of many artists to record it, and I still cling to his version and arrangement. He also made "Desperados Waiting for a Train" famous. Clark included of course both with his first album "Old No. 1" two years later. He has released several albums on various labels, but is mainly estimated as a considerable songwriter ... and, in fact, a luthier.
