Jesus, I'm gonna have to play that rekkid now and show my baby what I used to do. Happy holidays, veterans.

I'm afraid I'm with VR on this one.<br /><br />But I like "Working In A Coal Mine", and "Ride Your Pony" better than all of them, and maybe Lee Dorsey is the reason.<br /><br />And who can forget Little Feat's version of "On Your Way Down"?buzzbabyjesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375127662096374324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-17902502365805961262015-11-11T16:14:23.257-05:002015-11-11T16:14:23.257-05:00Mark: Mother-In-Law was first.

When they started playing the Australian single of the Stones' version of it on So-Cal radio mid-1966, it became a garage band staple. And to think it was only a B-side for Benny Spellman!<br /><br />VR - telling your fortune for freeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-81153918365912530792015-11-11T14:18:32.740-05:002015-11-11T14:18:32.740-05:00Yes, the Yardbirds version, on FOR YOUR LOVE, whos...Yes, the Yardbirds version, on FOR YOUR LOVE, whose album cover has been used as a Model for other great bands. Since FOR YOUR LOVE was THE album that did it for me, I loved everything on it, including A CERTAIN GIRL, which to me, fell midway between a sound The Beatles and The Dave Clark Five often got, but was still consistent with 1965-era Yardbirds.<br /><br />Does anyone know whether Ernie K-Doe's version of A CERTAIN GIRL preceded or followed MOTHER-IN-LAW? Both were released in 1961, I found.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13063639986915628650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-71511977045383433322015-11-11T10:22:09.699-05:002015-11-11T10:22:09.699-05:00A huge loss.

And one of my fave Zevon recordings ever.cthulhunoreply@blogger.com
