So, what have you been listening to lately?

What a talent.

Hendrix thought that too of him.

An unlikely cover, I know. But Marc's significant other and almost-wife (the car accident intervened), Ms Gloria Jones, does a fine job with it.

Noteworthy not just for the Bolan connection

but also for charting this first in 1965:

Neither whitey nor whiney, just beautiful:

OK, she couldn't really whistle in tune!

Say what you will, I thought he was great. And using the same chord changes for verse, bridge and chorus, yet they all sound different, but just as catchy, is just brilliant musicianship. Three chords.

This popped up in my YT algorithm. The original.

I discovered that last year while looking for something.  I can't even imagine how impressed I would have been if I had been living in 1928 and heard that.  The song is timeless.

Wow, they even nicked the flute parts. I had no idea. Thank you for shattering another myth for me, Dave! Don't do this to Deep Purple stuff, ok?

Well you must know about this one right? I dig the psychedelic vibe of the Purple version but can understand why  the Cream version is more popular. Is it the only old blues the Purp covered?

Same here. I know Canned Heat were serious blues historians but I never thought of looking up this original. Thanks!

I'm sure more are out there. I've listened to tons of old blues over the years, but this one was a revelation to me.

Speaking of old songs, a local friend posted this in his FB feed, Mona and Lisa Wagner are Austrian-born twins now living in Liverpool.

My father was a fan of Gene Austin, he had Gene's original hit from the late 1920s. But it's funny that every single cover I've heard since Patience & Prudence's 1956 version is based on their duet, not on the 1920s hit.
