This is what I picked another time for SLS when we had the prompt for transportation,  July 25, 2021. I still like it.

Fun topic for today’s SLS, and so many songs to choose from. I kept choosing one getting it all ready, then changing my mind. Finally I went with this one. It’s good.

I remember the first time I heard it was in Germany where we were living at the time, when we bought the album.

From a Wiki article:

The guitar solo would gain recognition when readers of Guitar World voted it No. 15 in their list of the “100 Greatest Guitar Solos”.^[10]

“Highway Star”, by Deep Purple can be found on their 1972 album, “Machine Head”. It was written by Ritchie Blackore, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Jon Lord, ad ian Paice, and is on the EMI and Warner Bros. labels.
