My favorite version of the blues version of "Freebird" or "Wagon Wheel" (and not just because it's old friends - some now gone - doing it):

Speaking of "Freebird", here's my favorite version:

Bill, tgo

The Brothers Johnson.

Wow...

OK, I said some are gone; today while Mrs. dozed on Her dilaudid pump, I got curious.
I knew Lonnie passed on my birthday in '17 - but it turns out that drummer Robert Covington, keyboardist Kenny Sadak, and guitarist Barstool Bob Levis (as well as Larry Clymer, who replaced him shortly after that was recorded) have all also passed; only bassist Harlan Terson The Blues Person remains.
I am fast becoming convinced this getting old crap has a downside.....

"Black Peter", Chick Evans Fieldhouse, Northern Illinois University, 10/29/77; I was in college about an hour west of there, and some friends went - if I'd had 5 more bucks in my pocket, it would have been my first show.  Curses!

Another example as to why I love this thread.
Never heard of Steven before,  dig this. 😎

Always nice to find something new! Wilson was/is the main man with Porcupine Tree, eventually launching a pretty successful solo career.

Is that Bill Bruford's godson? A softer snare but very Bruford like feel.

Ha! Good call. I'm not familiar with him (Russel Holzman), but he is the son of Wilson's solo band keyboardist Adam Holzman (who is not in this video). 

LeeAnn Womack posted this little clip on George Jones' birthday over the weekend. She's been known to belt out Possum tunes before.

*there's days I wonder what it'd take to get me back in that madhouse 500 miles down I-40... ^that'd do it.

Won't say it's good, but I will say it's amazing.......
