correct - not the original artist, but the one o was thinking of.

Yep, just a tad older than Thorogood, by Bo Diddly in the mid 50's. Funny I was thinkin' about posting this tune also!

My favorite Covers were by a Canadian Group Named the Hawks later to be known as The Band and Quicksilver Messenger Service which I was listening to Saturday Morning (which is why I thought about posting the Lyrics)

The Band and Quicksilver Messenger Service were two completely different bands,

I think he may have omitted a comma which I've taken the liberty of inserting into his post.

Got a brand new house on the roadside, made from rattlesnake hide.

I got a brand new chimney made on top, made from a human skull

Oh, looks like there was one that I would have known for sure but I was too slow. :lol:

The best cover of that song is definitely made by The Go Getters. Though a short piece of the cover is played in the middle of their song "Mona". :D I've heard that song once in person and I can tell you that it sounds excellent as all of their songs do.

I remember when she was going to be the next big thing, the Queen of Alternative rock...never happened. I think Whip Smart was the last album of hers I remember hearing about. Was that the album with "Supernova" on it?

I think so. "Supernova" is a cool song, one of her best IMO, but I had to be careful with which song of hers I posted. She had quite a tendency to use "naughty" words in her lyrics... like in "Supernova," f'rinstance... ;)

I Can't Let Go--I'm hearing Linda Ronstadt singing it, which means it was almost certainly a cover.

Heck, I think I might actually own that record....

I'm Movin' On by Hank Snow

Don't know what the most famous cover version would be, but John Kay does the coolest version imo
