It's not always the playing, the singer, or the songwriting. Sometimes it's just the sound of a song. How it feels. T-Model Ford and Gravelroad's cover of "Little Red Rooster" sounds like they're playing ten feet away. It's really greater than its parts. The singing and playing are not virtuoso by any means, and the song, while typically well written by Willie Dixon, is basic, but that's what's great about the package. All of the elements are basic, not overdone. Everything in it's place.
Here's a link to that version, along with several others at Doklands. .The Pussy Galore version being the most fucked up. It's just shit, laughable, and I like Pussy Galore. But not enough to coddle. It's primordial hipster jive.
A note about the links, they're all from individual posts. You can click on the site links after the song titles to go to the individual posts, or go here, and scroll down about two thirds of the page to see the consecutive posts. I just left some out, there's actually seven in all.
