Driving Away from Home (Jim's Tune)

"Driving Away from Home (Jim's Tune)" is a song by British band It's Immaterial. Released as a single in March 1986, it spent eight weeks on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 18 in April 1986.

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 "Jim's Tune" in the title 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.
