    Whilst I'm down a hole . . .     Like the John Lee Hooker version as well but there's something a bit more 'dirty' about owd George that works better.   A great way to get lit as well

Cracking pair of lungs.....in the singing sense obvs

 

Indeed!  All three of them were excellent but she was a real surprise when she stepped forward.

 

I like quirky stuff like that - reminds me of a Lancs brass band i saw at Beatherder festival years ago playing all Madchester and old Hacienda tunes - was ace

 

Think the studio versions better but agree it's a great cover.

 

You'd probably have to be a CCR fan to 'get it' though I reckon

 

so . . .

i'm not in particular to be honest, only heard the version a couple of years ago, think it was on the drivetime "Tunesday" on radio 2, where they play a long version of a song, never heard it before that to be honest, really liked it so thought it was a good one to post on this thread.

I love the 'huyed it . . .'  vocals :) 

 

Seems like a great time for music back then, lots of mingling and marrying of styles

Fugues - killing me softly

 

Flo & Dizee Rascal’s version of You got the love is ace too

 

How about Wild world, I like the Mr Big version, some prefer the original Cat Stevens and I know some like the Maxi Priest reggae type
