Man. I've got to call a moratorium on death coverage. Shit week is working overtime, stretching it to day eight with the death of Mose Allison, a jazz blues singer/pianist whose songs you've undoubtedly heard whether you know it or not. Here's three covers of his songs that you may know. My bet is that a lot of you have never heard the original versions. If you haven't, you'll be surprised to hear how laid back they are. You may think you prefer the covers, but after you listen to enough Allison, you'll cave in, to some degree, to his unassuming delivery.
