wasn't this fun?  yes... the guitar and music is great... but man alive that singing style... It's not that far away from what some of the "New Wave" bands were doing in the late 70's early 80s...
crazy fun!  Also I never realized how old this song was.  I think Aerosmith is the first version I ever heard... silly me!

Great song. ORH: I think you'd like Calexico, if you don't know them already. A little band from Tucson.

Thanks to my research into "Green Onions," and the YouTube algorithm, I was recommended this video. And it's really good:

I'm going to see these guys in Leicester tomorrow - the first gig since before covid struck.  I like a bit of English folk music and the wife is a real folkie.

They were bloody good on Saturday.  I was too far away to catch any footage but thought I would share another song.   Apparently the oboe player died suddenly a few weeks ago of heart failure.  Only 52.

I was tempted to share "Roll Alabama roll" which was a fantastic performance but a far less than politically correct subject matter.  But I guess that's history and folk music for you.

I'm not particularly into folk, but these were interesting

but a far less than politically correct subject matter

As songwriters should we care about being politically correct? I think not. Agreeing about something is a different thing.
