Nice one. I was going to pick The Yardbirds version of Train Kept A-Rollin' but then remembered they re-recorded it as "Stroll On" for the 60s movie "Blow Up" and that version is much better. The Motorhead version is also decent.

Need to explore the various cover versions, some great ones out there . The original, Tiny Bradshaw, is a fantastic pre-rock 'n' roll jazz swing track.

Yep great bit of jump blues.


This Yardbirds remade cover version is still my favourite. That guitar is a great bit of fuzz.

Someone commented "still wild and unhinged", kind of sums it up. The Clash were playing this at sound checks circa '78.
