It’s a classic John Prine song.
Oh, I knew I could easily look it up, even uninterested as I am.
I was responding to your comment “I’m confident we all know the original…,” wondering if there really is such a thing.
I know, right? Perhaps if the original had of been an iconic Beatles tune! Then there would actually have been a chance of everyone knowing the original.
There are some Beatles songs many would know, but I find twenty somethings and even older often do not know much if anything of the Beatles.
A good suggestion.
Talking of covers, what do you good people make of this? Nearly fifteen minutes of On the Road Again. The whole album is quite interesting.
Edit: grammar.
Pleasantly surprised seeing as I clicked completely expecting some bizarre version of a Willie Nelson tune…
How dare you suggest I would post something like that!
Where’s that Greta emoji when you need it
The whole album is quite worth listening. Much easier to the ears than to categorise into a genre.
Crep - that album isn’t on Tidal or Spotify…
It’s on bandcamp if that’s of any use.
A free download no less:
Canned Heat
Yup - I’m a regular Bandcamper… It’s the ONLY camping I do…
“People Who Died” by the Jim Carroll Band, covered by the Drive-By Truckers on “Alabama Ass Whuppin’.”
Wood Brothers do a few great covers…
Fixing a Hole (Beatles)
Midnight Rider (Allman Bros)
YES to that one
I love Bad Manners cover of Midnight Rider.
