Great collection! Back int he 80s I used to see The Mosquitos whenever they'd play The Dive in NYC.
ReplyDeleteThanks for another great mix Glenn. I was stoked to see that you included the Etta James version of "I'd Rather Go Blind", which I've not heard previously. I think the covers by Wiggins and Carter are a testament to how fine the original is, as each of the covers is sung just as Etta sung it originally. I'll say the Clarence Carter version is my favorite, his voice seems to suit the song, and , well the fact that he is blind somehow makes the song more powerful.
ReplyDeleteThanks again,
Shawn
Just had to let you know so you can change it - I don't know who that photo depicts, but it definitely ain't Big Joe Turner!
