When you hear him talk about Jesus
You know they're the best of friends
Speaking of Link Wray . . . .
I loved his version of "Backwoods Preacher Man" on Beans and Fatback so much--it sounds like an outtake from the Exile on Main Street sessions . . . and since that is one of my Top Ten Favorite Albums, that's meant as high praise--that after the seventh or eighth playing I went looking for some more information.
Found out that it was actually a Tony Joe White song, which of course immediately made sense, and just as immediately put me in the mood for listening to Tony Joe White's version several times.
Oh, yeah. I love Link Wray's version of this song, for sure, but Tony Joe White has just got that sWAMp grOOve tHANg going on allatime, you know?
Which, of course, made me go dig out my Hoodoo cd. Yeah, that's it. Right THERE, baby.
I need more Tony Joe White. Spotify, take me away!
