He has a new album coming out and it's all covers, i believe around mid November. And yes i totally agree it's a great version.
Another new song just released, pretty good.
Absolutely love this song. Think I've posted before and have long contended I was introduced to this in the animated Spiderman (1967) cartoon. It's probably not the exact song but it was very close. Original by Booker T and the MGs (last vid with a nod to American Graffiti).
Going to see Toque again tonight , maybe Darby will come and sing a couple songs .
Or maybe Bryan Adams is still in town, i would lose my shit if Bryan came out and did a couple of tunes.
This song is just too cool. It's so laid back and easy with an irresistible groove. Being curious about this song, and never having heard another song from them, one decides it's a good idea to YouTube/wiki about the the song and artists and you come to find it's a pretty interesting story.
They were the house band for Stax records and played on albums by Sam And Dave, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Bill Withers and others. Having 2 black members and 2 white members, they were one of the first integrated bands in American history. Long story short, the song came about from them just killing time waiting for a singer to show up for recording. The singer never showed up and, "Green Onions" was born.
The members of the band are, Booker T. Jones (organ), Steve Cropper (Guitar), Donald "Ducky" Dunn (Bass), (Lewie Steinberg was the original bassist) and Albert Jackson Jr (Drums).
Here's videos of them talking about how the song came to be.
And here's Booker T. talking about how he learned to play the organ/piano.
Great post. You can find a couple of them in this video. The Blues Brothers was such an amazing movie for music. Well known to most adults at the time, but I was basically a kid.

What a great voice, and great band!
Let me add
I love Daryl's House sets...
They are so boo coo du...
Your 3 songs are so good they add up to 4...
We can do four videos in a post now? Who knew.
Great selections and three is incredibly hard to narrow it down to. I could easily go with three of your four (or all four) and not be remotely unhappy about it.
I got to thinking about it before you added Stairway to Heaven and that song resonates very strongly with me, could easily be one of the three, largely owing to junior high dances. It was fabulously confusing as it picked up pace (and clunked its way through tracks on the 8 track in the gymnasium) because it clearly started as a "waltz". As a young male you steadfastly clung to the poor young woman even if she tried to break away to match the pace of the song. No sorry my dear, you shall not escape my grasp, this is the peak of my physical contact with a young girl for years to come.
In grade 8 my big crush on a grade 9 girl actually asked me to dance to it out of the blue. No idea if she was put up to it by someone else, but I honestly don't care. It was nearly 8 minutes of nirvana I haven't forgotten to this day. I swear I had a grin on my face for a week. That it happens to be a crazy musical piece just adds to the enjoyment. Also a fabulous introduction to Led Zeppelin to a young mind that was listening largely to A.M. radio at the time.Gotta think about those three songs...
Probably wouldn't make top three, but I could listen to this song for hours on end:

Thanks for posting. Very sad news here. Nazareth was one of the first bands I saw live back in the 1970s. I saw them twice more, once at the old arena and then I swear they played The Zoo once, but I might be dreaming that.
I had forgotten how many good songs they have.
Daryl's house is so much fun.I love Daryl's House sets...
They are so boo coo du...

Joe Walsh opened for Tom Petty on the last tour and I got to see him in St. Paul. Obviously seeing the last Petty tour was such a gift for me as I'm a huge Petty fan, having seen him nearly a dozen times or so. The best part of Petty shows were that almost universally the opening act would get a full length concert, so you got two shows for the price of one and then they'd inevitably join Petty on stage (the exception being Joe Cocker - I was really looking forward to the collaboration on stage). Joe Walsh did such a great job on that tour and was such a treat. Had no idea when I got the tickets via the fanclub release who the opening act, I just knew it would be good and this was no disappointment.
Didn't see that one coming did you?

Wow, that really put strong images into my mind, like I was there
BB King is ALWAYS on my must play list on spotify.
Anyone who can jam like BB is my man.
You might notice, most of the music I posted contains absolute godly guitar solos or intros.
