Gregory Alan Isakov playing John Hartford’s In Tall Buildings:
I’m a music person and “image” or where they grew up or who they hung with or what she was like off stage isnt that important to me. My affection is based on what I hear primarily. Her physical appearance didn’t hurt either. Like many pop stars, I don’t think she was that happy and I think the pop star life had a lot to do with it.
I agree, her talent was amazing. My point was, from what I was told, she was into the drug scene early in life way before she was famous. Her downfall was not from hanger on’s that came aboard for her fame, she was already on a bad path.
Really well said - I feel exactly the same way about that and other songs and agree you can tell Beato just loved doing that song.
I never realized how attractive she was.
One of my favorite singers these days is Rachel Price from Lake Street Dive. Here they are doing a really good cover of The Kinks “Lola”:
You got that right. Although I think she's her prettiest doing AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds" at age 32.

Zac Brown and the Foo Fighters almost always do at least one awesome cover tune in their shows. Love it
The Allmans at Filmore East , cover of T Bone Walker’s “Stormy Monday”. Most rock bands when they cover a standard blues number play it too fast and overplay. What do the Allman’s do? Slow the tempo and interject some jazz chords. That’s artistry and it is why this band in my opinion remains underrated in the big picture. These guys were in their early to mid 20s here:
The little flub in the intro of the song was for good reason. The Allman Bros Fillmore version of Stormy Monday is very similar to the Bobby Bland cover.
One of my all-time favorite songs. The Albert King / Stevie Ray version is damn good, too. Don't much care for the Cream version.
