I FIRST HEARD “SLOW DOWN” WHEN IT WAS RELEASED, BY THE BEATLES, IN 1964 AS A SINGLE IN THE U.S. I played it in a cover band , Woodies Termites, at the same time. I was sitting in my cottage one evening many years later, just fooling around with the song, and it came out like this, a laid-back country blues version. I found out at that same time that it was actually written and performed by Larry Williams in 1957 and the Beatles had heard it from his recording.
