The washboard and frottoir (from Cajun French "frotter", to rub) are used as a percussion instrument, employing the ribbed metal surface of the cleaning device as a rhythm instrument. Often the washboard has additional traps, such as a wood block, a cowbell, and even small cymbals

Album Honeysuckle Rose (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack). On The Road Again Lyrics. On the road again - Just can't wait to get on the road again The life I love is making music with my friends. And I can't wait to get on the road again On the road again. Goin' places that I've never been Seein' things that I may never see again. Willie Nelson starred as an aging rocker in the film Honeysuckle Rose. While on an airplane flight, he was asked to write a song about ‘being on the road’ for the film by director Jerry Schatzberg and executive producer Sydney Pollack, so he grabbed a barf bag and proceeded to write On The Road Again on it. The song topped the US Country Chart and crossed over to pop, peaking at in late 1980. The song won a Grammy the following year for Best Country Song. On The Road Again" Track Info. Written By Willie Nelson.

Listen to the biggest hits from Washboard Willie, including No Name Blues, Hambone Blues, Struttin' That Stuff, and more on Slacker Radio. One day he had this idea, while making some suds in the water, to call his band, Washboard Willie& the Super Suds of Rhythm. This first band consisted of Washboard Willie on washboard and vocals, Chuck Smith on bass, and Anthony Lewis. At first, Hensley was just beating the washboard, and tapping his foot; soon he added the bass drum, and then the snare. An album was released on Big Bear/Poly 2460 186 from the tour featuring Hensley, along with Lightnin' Slim, Whispering Smith, Boogie Woogie Red, Snooky Pryor, and Homesick James. By 1979, Washboard Willie wasn't playing much anymore - only special local engagements. He was always a family man and a Sunday School teacher, and he began to enjoy his retirement.
