A revelatory live performance of Blood on the Tracks. Track 7 is a mess, but the rest is spectacular, and certain tracks approach or arguably exceed the majesty of the originals, e.g., Track 3.
Streaming “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours” from this forthcoming covers album (it is due out Oct. 23rd). Great version!
We miss you, Sharon!

Summer’s End
I’m sad, very sad; and, how can I be angry at the same time?
Thanks for your music John, I love you.

Already posted this new release in ‘what are you spinning…’, thought it definitely deserves some attention in this one too!
”For his next full-length, Shatner is taking on blues classics with the help of some famous friends. Simply titled The Blues , the project features contributions from country star Brad Paisley, Steely Dan and Doobie Brothers guitarist Jeff “Skunk” Baxter, Deep Purple’s Ritchie Blackmore, and Canned Heat. Also appearing are Stax Records guitarist and producer Steve Cropper, former Elvis Presley associate James Burton, blues veteran Sonny Landreth, and guitarists Pat Travers and Albert Lee.”
”Found on the new album are reworked versions of “Sweet Home Chicago” and “I Put a Spell on You”, as well as “I Can’t Quit You Baby”, “Crossroads”, and “Born Under a Bad Sign”. As an early treat, Shatner previously shared his covers of “The Thrill is Gone” and “Let’s Work Together”, done in collaboration with Canned Heat, who originally released the song in 1970.”
