[Frunobulax]

Grab your coat, grab your hat...

Indeed. And make the bus in seconds flat!

 

[Bamaboots]

"Wishing Well" -- Blackfoot

Take off your hat; kick off your shoes.
I know you ain't goin' anywhere.
Run 'round the town, singin' your blues.
I know you ain't goin' anywhere.
You've always been a good friend of mine,
But you're always sayin' farewell.
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well.

Long live Rickey!

 

[Hurricane Jack]

Mad Hatter - Lynyrd Skynyrd

We never say goodbye we always say so long
You had nine lives I can't believe their all gone
Mad hatters movin' on yeah he's moving on

"Wishing Well" -- Blackfoot

Take off your hat; kick off your shoes.
I know you ain't goin' anywhere.
Run 'round the town, singin' your blues.
I know you ain't goin' anywhere.
You've always been a good friend of mine,
But you're always sayin' farewell.
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well.

Long live Rickey!

I kind of expected you would go for the original, Jack.
But, if only because of Paul Rodgers, here it is:

I went with Blackfoot because it's on Blackfoot Strikes which happens to be my favorite album of theirs, and overall I like Medlocke's volume of work.

And before Blackfoot covered it, there was Maggie Bell, who interestingly, I saw open for Bad Co. on the Straight Shooter tour. Must've been weird doing this song with Paul Rodgers in the wings watching.

Maggie Bell...

Another great version, with Jimmy Page no less!

A new video to a longtime favorite:

The Last Rebel -- Lynyrd Skynyrd

There's a grey horse standin' still
As a soldier climbs in the saddle for one last ride
As the rain pours off his hat
You can see the shadows of the past written in his eyes

 

[Bushman]

You Old Fool by The Weavers:

Cheating housewife tries to pass her lover's JB Stetson off as chamber pot in the second verse:

"I came home the next night so drunk I could not see And there was a hat on the hat rack where my hat ought to be I said to my wife, my pretty little wife, explain this thing to me What's this hat doing here on the hat rack where my hat ought to be

Oh, you old fool, you blind fool can't you plainly see It's nothing but a chamber pot my mother send to me Ah, I've traveled this wide world over, ten thousand miles or more But a J.B Stetson chamber pot I never did see before"

 

[Frunobulax]

Another great version, with Jimmy Page no less!

She's got some pipes, and she's still out there. The record company was pushing her pretty hard at the time.

 

[Frunobulax]

How did we forget this?

 

[BobHufford]

 

[Frunobulax]

That's an incredible and underrated LO.

 

[BobHufford]

[Verse 5]
I'm going to town, honey
What you want me to bring you back?
Bring a pint of booze
And a John B. Stetson hat

 

[Hat and Rehat]

Many years ago there was an exotic dancer at a local watering hold that danced to Joe Cocker's song. She was good, the song great, and she did indeed leave her hat on.

She's still there.

 

[Hat and Rehat]

And everywhere.

[Hurricane Jack]

She's got some pipes, and she's still out there.

I saw some comparisons to Janis Joplin.

The record company was pushing her pretty hard at the time.

Probably just like they pushed Janis Joplin & Nina Simone to be pop singers instead of the Blues.
