I was listening to this song on the radio last night while driving home from work. I realized that this song has been around for quite sometime now, and I actually loved it back in my college days. When's your next gynecology appointment? |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Speaking of Layla, I never knew that it's not Clapton playing that electric lead riff on the original. Duane Allman stepped in and played it. I don't think he even got credits on the LP.

If y'listen to "Why Does Got t'Be So Sad" (on that same album), y'can hear D'uane all OVER that one . . |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | "Please Read The Letter" by Allison Krause and Robert Plant.
The original was written by Plant and performed on one of the Plant/Page albums but IMHO it really sucked.
The reworked version that is on the Krause/Plant album is fantastic and worthy of the Everly Brother type harmonies. |

But, I feel like most people theses days just don't give that little extra effort. I think it's laziness . . . or indifference.
I can give you a refund... or store credit. |

| Worst cover ever...
Eric Clapton doing Layla by Eric Clapton!!!! (Derek and the Dominoes)
Let's be real. If anyone else would have turned that rock classic into elevator music they would have been lucky to only have been booed off the stage. Miles I thought I might be the only other guy who has ever said this! It is taboo to diss Clapton but I never quite got this version. I thought it might be popular enough to try and add it to my acoustic solo stuff but I just can't stand playing it or hearing it in this form.
RUSH's version of "The Seeker" is top notch live! Always liked Duran Duran's version of Thank you as well. |

Lynyrd Skynyrd\'s version of \'Call Me the Breeze\' by JJ Cale. Awsome piano solo. |

The reworked version that is on the Krause/Plant album is fantastic and worthy of the Everly Brother type harmonies. I think most the album is full of remakes/covers/standards.
Every single one of them are fabulous! IMO
I think the credit should go to TBone Burnett for the overall feel and sound of the album. |

| The Hendrix version of Dylan's "All Along the Watch Tower". Lots of people still think that was his song to this day, it was done so well. ! |
