Oops. I only looked back enough pages to see the current year additions.

Frets on a 'slap-Bass'??

I dunno, whatever it is they're called.

This is a fantastic cover, especially with the reason for covering it

I’ll take your Paul Weller and raise it to the unbeatable Joe Bonamassa & Beth Hart, I think this is even better then the Etta James original

I think you are wrong but I respect your point of view.

Not really a 'cover version' though, Howard and Mark (Flo and Eddie) were the original singers of the song which was their 'big hit single........with a bullet and as Mark Volman says "Bend over and spread em baby....here comes my bullet"

I knew that one of them was in The Turtles but not the other. 👍

The two covers of this are extremely different but I love them both
