Not sure why but straight Beatles' covers-- even competent like this one-- are boring. That's why it's talkover music.

I have this on a nice collection called "Jumpin' Jazz" with lots of great players, like Grant Green, Eddie Jefferson, Houston Person and more.
Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings

Great new CD on Daptone. Hey, I see Fernando Velez, formerly of Jersey City, is a Dap-King!

Koko Taylor

Great song, amazing cover. Delbert does it as good as it can be done. I'm sure Bobby Bland would agree.

This longtime New Orleans trumpeter and music teacher died in August; his only solo album came out the year before. Although he gigged for years, he is best known as a teacher-- with some of the best NO jazz players his students. RIP Clyde.
