Great classic rock song by The Hollies. It reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 1972. The song is different from most other Hollies songs in that there are no three-part vocal harmonies, and the song features lead guitar and lead vocal work by Allan Clarke. The song was written initially in the country/rockabilly style then adapted over recording more to the swamp rock style of Creedence Clearwater Revival, in terms of the vocal, rhythm, and melodic style. Clarke imitated John Fogerty's vocal style, which was based on the Creedence song "Green River". According to Clarke, the song was written "in about five minutes". My take, Fender Telecaster, mixture of Mixcraft Heavy Metal Drum kit and MT Drum kit, JP-90 Bass.  Enjoy!

Walkin Blues is a blues standard written and recorded by American Delta blues musician Son House in 1930. Although unissued at the time, it was part of House's repertoire and other musicians, including Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters, adapted the song and recorded their own versions. Robert Johnson's version has been adapted and recorded by many artists, Eric Clapton, Joe Bonnamasso, Paul Butterfield Blues Band and even the Grateful Dead. Here's my version modeled form the Grateful Dead version.

Foreplay/Long Time is a song by American rock band Boston, written by founder, leader, and multi-instrumentalist Tom Scholz. It appears on the band's 1976 self-titled debut album, and as their second single, on Epic Records in 1976.

"Season of the Witch" is a song by Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan released in September 1966 on his third American album, Sunshine Superman. Several artists have recorded their own renditions, including Julie Driscoll with Brian Auger and the Trinity (1967, Open); Al Kooper with Steve Stills (1968, Super Session); Vanilla Fudge (1968, Renaissance); Dr. John with the Blues Brothers Band (1998, Blues Brothers 2000); Joan Jett and the Blackhearts (2004; Naked) and Lana Del Rey (2019, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark soundtrack). My take.

Season Of The Witch

“La Grange” is the first single from ZZ Top’s 1973 Tres Hombres album.  A 1992 lawsuit alleged that the one-chord song’s signature riff had been stolen from one of the versions of bluesman John Lee Hooker’s “Boogie Chillun'”. The courts found that Besman had failed to properly copyright the song in a timely manner, so the early versions of the song were considered part of the public domain, which meant Z.Z. Top was not liable to Besman or La Cienega Music Co. So here's my take.

La Grange
