"Hit the Road Jack" glimpse - Miguel - 06-06-2012
Haley performs "Hit the Road Jack" with Casey on his album that is due out later this month. This lengthy AI interview gives us a taste.
At about 3:28, you can hear Haley singing in the background as Casey talks about the drummer and the song. Then we see them recording together in the studio.

Great find, thx Miguel. I love the jazzy sound of Haley on Hit The Road Jack. Looks like I have to buy a Casey album to get more Haley and some nice material from Casey.

^ Agreed.
Hit the Road Jack Duet is a bit reminiscent of the Moaning duet. LOVE IT! Maybe we'll get really treated and they'll do a video for it.
I will definitely be adding Hit the Road Jack to my iPod playlist.

I loved it too - the humming, the bit of a growl, her tone... I'd buy an album of nothing but classic covers if Haley put one out.

Sultry jazz Haley. It's my favorite Haley. I will be buying that.

Most definitely would support this album and would totally buy anything corrobrative including Haley. Those two know each other so well musically, that it's just a natural fit.
Thanks for this one Miguel..

I'm really excited for this! His whole cd will be amazing and Haley will make it even more special for us!

From that little taste of the song it sounds like another Haley-Casey winner. I love what I heard.
It was:

Me too! It's not a song I've ever cared for (much too repititious and, thus, tedious), but they've "funkified" it -- well, Casey says it's got a hip hop beat. (Interestingly, after listening again, I get a quasi-reggae feel, as well. Is that what hip hop is - a merging of funk and reggae, with vocalists who are too cool [or can't carry a tune] to sing? I quit trying to keep up with "popular" music when hip hop/rap/grunge seemed to take over what had once had a bit of musicality to it.)
Anyway, I can't wait to hear the entire song (and album).

I never cared for the song, but it sounds fresh and different in this sample. I never liked Bennie and the Jets either -- until Haley sang it her way.
Note the stand up bass in the room we saw earlier this year in the photo with the various instruments. I figured it was there somewhere.
