Here's a good juxtaposition. Robert Johnson's "Preachin' Blues" covered by the Gun Club as "Preaching the Blues". The Gun Club (above) were an L.A. band made up of off-duty members of the punk scene. They rip the shit out of the song. (Before anybody gets a fact checker hard on, I know Johnson didn't write it and I'm not even sure his version was the first.) After hearing the Gun Club I got distracted and when I get distracted, I relish it as an excuse to bale. So, wrapping things up, as a chaser there's Beehive and the Barracudas' cover of the Gun Club's "Sex Beat".
