Dion (Dion Francis DiMucci) one of the more underrated vocalist/musician/songwriters in my humble opinion. About ten years ago, a friend introduced me to some of his bluesier material, much of it written by Dion. His vocal are always "out front". This cover did him justice for sure.

I have to admit, the only version I am familiar with is Fagen's cover on the Nightfly - I have never heard the original version.

Yours was a recording/performance to be proud of. Everything just fits; both the music and the mix.

I'm a big fan of the Donald Fagen cover of this. It's a Leiber-Stoller song, and those boys have written a few classic in their time! This has a great swing and swagger to it. Highly accomplished stuff in every department, and a great fun listen. As you say, it's perfect bar band material. Really, really great stuff.

* BUMP *

This really is a beaut. I was playing around with this song this morning - listening to this again has kind of put me off though, lol. A real killer performance and arrangement.
