I know not everyone is a Modest Mouse fan...although I DEFINITELY am. But here's a great cover of one of their songs done in a COMPLETELY different fashion.

I'll take Rainbow's 1979 version over Russ Ballard, who wrote and performed the song in 1976. Ballard is the former lead singer and guitarist of Argent.

 

Here is Ballard's version.......

 

Rainbow

Ritchie Blackmore - guitar

Cozy Powell – drums

Don Airey - keyboards, backing vocals

Graham Bonnet – lead vocals

Roger Glover - bass, backing vocals

Oh... by the way.... I should mention that I absolutely, unequivocally, and without remorse, HATE Lynyrd Skynyrd!

Hey Jude by Wilson Pickett with Duane Allman playing guitar!

 

 

Recorded in Muscle Shoals, some consider this song the birth of Southern Rock.

WOW! Great find. Love that version. Big fan of Wicked Pickett.

 

That led me to find this gem. Aretha and Duane doing "The Weight." Love it.

BTW I've mentioned before that there is a great documentary called "Muscle Shoals" on Netflix.

I've got that baby on vinyl.

That's a gooder, but if you're talking cover versions of "The Weight", I prefer that Staples Singers cover with Marty Stuart.

Mavis Staples recently recorded a pretty nice version with Wilco's Jeff Tweedy as well.

Another great cover. Love the Staples.

 

And from the "I've posted it before" if you love soul music go to Memphis and tour Stax. Do it by yourself though. You don't want to be on someone else's schedule.

Yeah, that is an awesome documentary.

"Disarm"

 

 

 

 

:no::no::no: give me Billy Corgan and the smashing pumpkins any day. The man is a musical great. IMO

UB40 > Neil Diamond

This is a close one for me, but I'm going with Guns N Roses...Live and Let Die, over Paul McCartney.

Thanks!
