Totally brilliant quizzing as ever, and in your usual style, mindboggling speed, blimey O'Riley.
I will check your answer to Q4, not what I had.

EDIT - Willie Nelson DID record "On the Road Again" so a tick is given, and you got a full house Thumbs Up

Duckyfuzz, the song “On the Road Again” was indeed written and recorded by Willie Nelson.
It was released in 1980, so a lot later than 1968 and was a different song to the Canned Heat song.
But, I think it deserves a tick Thumbs Up

Cheers Ray, I don’t recall ever hearing anything by canned heat, though I can remember the willie Nelson version.

I think if you listen to this you tube clip DF you may remember the song with its distinctive harmonica backing.
