I reaĺly like that. The live versions of guitar slinger man never made huge impression on me but that immediately grabbed me. Very solid album track, shame it never made it.

This is EXCELLENT! I've always actually dug the Johnny Rivers original and Joe's version retains what I like about the original, but also gives it a completely different sound. Too bad this didn't make it onto Streetcore. There was definitely room for it.

Oh shiiii. I love the original and this is a dope cover. Would love to hear the rest of these demos at some point.

Hello,
I enjoyed (and will continue to enjoy) this cover. I like the original, DEVO has fun with it, and now this - the trifecta.
Is it because it is a cover it wasn’t included with the other tracks on 001?
Well Ride Your Donkey was on 001 so I doubt it. Lucinda said there is tons of stuff in the vaults, it'll be a case of join the queue.
Yes but was a track that Joe had previously released like Redemption Song. Was wondering if it was different if not previously released as a cover? Is it possible they couldn’t get / afford rights?
