supersoul

For me, the most beautiful cover might be the one made by Blue Cheer of "Summertime Blues" (Eddie Cochran) 1967/68, scorching metal when they still didn't know what metal was.

Hey, so many nice comments for the old pirate, I didn't expect them even though I used the "trick" of associating him with a fantastic piece like "Hey Joe." You see, @ez, this is what I meant by honoring Willy; it doesn’t make sense (to me) to try to honor him with a review of an album that is among his least successful and to pass it off as a good starting point for those who have never listened to him. Maybe it would discourage them with those final twenty minutes of spoken words that already reek of death. For those who have Jimi’s version in mind, there is no hope for the others; in fact, as I mentioned in the review, many think it was written by Jimi, like the person who posted this video with the absolutely Hendrixian rendition by Body Count (with an extraordinary Ice-T on vocals). But Willy's version remains stunning for me, capturing the sense of the inevitability of life that flows ironically like a long, tranquil river... you love, you kill, you go off to spend the rest of your life away, and every day is the same. I swear on Punisher’s head that I would truly put it on an eternal loop, even though Willy is a craftsman. Kosmo is right; Willy's version is one that shines in concert, he sings it angrier with a slide that makes the atmosphere even more heated, and among those I’ve seen online, the most beautiful one I have is from a concert of his two years ago, filmed with makeshift means. Anyone who wants it (2,3 MB) can request it from me via email without hesitation. It was an extraordinary concert, maybe not up to the level of what a Cammariere or a Bosso can do, dear caravan, but still a great concert.
