Driving Away From Home (Jim's Tune)

Driving Away From Home (Jim's Tune) is a song by the british band It's Immaterial. Released as a single in 1986 it spent eight weeks in the UK Singles Chart peaking at number 18 in April 1986.[1]

The song has been described by the band as a "British on-the-road song". They initially recorded the song in Milwaukee with Jerry Harrison from the band Talking Heads, but the band was unhappy about Harrison's idea of making the song a country and western pastische and returned to England to record a new version with producer Dave Bascombe. The title's "Jim's Tune" refers to Jim Lieber, a harmonica-player in a blues band the band saw in a bar in Milwaukee. He was invited to record in the studio and the band was so happy about his playing that they credited him in the title.[2]
