The hauntingly melancholy “Blue Highway Blue” is a co-written song by John Paul Daniels, Debi Cochran and Billy Thomas. It was composed in 1998, around the time the band was forming. Once completed, the song rested on a
shelf until the Time Jumpers dusted it off with Thomas doing the lead vocals.

The lyric portrays a sad hearted lover who can’t escape the blues “the further down this road I travel, the more I feel my heart unravel”. The music was the brainchild of Daniels and Thomas. Thomas recalls, “I remember thinking this melody suited my voice. So when I was asked to sing one, I thought it would be a perfect candidate for Kid Sister”. It’s become a true crowd favorite and shows off
a different side of the Jumpers. - Billy Thomas
