Crazy Ed Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) 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) Edited March 24, 2015 by Crazy Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) 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. 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". I've heard that song once in person and I can tell you that it sounds excellent as all of their songs do. Here it is...

Casey Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Liz Phair 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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....
