Friday Covers

It is spring, and nothing says spring like some Green Onions:



The Harry James band version. Those cats could swing.



Lightnin' Hopkins on a slide acoustic version



Booker T and the MGs -- Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn rock it out. Booker T was the backing band at Stax Records. You can hear them behind Sam and Dave among others.

One of the greatest songs ever. If it is not on your MP3 Player, I don't know what to say to you.

The Harry James version is great...nice find. Tho, this is more the speed of what's on my player:
