"I see a trade deadline thread and want to Paint it Black"


Am I to understand that the Animals covered "Paint It Black"?

Recall that Brian Jones actually used a sitar on this one. And a dulcimer on Lady Jane. The former was a single, and both hail from the Stones' first all original album, Aftermath (1966).


We all know about "House of The Rising Sun," and how Bob, listening to this on the radio in 1964, decided hey, I can go electric too.

An old blues standard and an electrifying performance. Eric Burden had a great blues voice.



Another favorite,



Bonus points if you know who Chas Chandler was, and his role in bringing a moderately talented guitarist to prominence.

I am of limited technological means at the moment. Am I to understand that the animals covered paint it black?
They sure did. Technically it was Eric Burdon & the Animals, but yeah.....they did. It can be seen in the film Monterey Pop. I met Eric Burdon in 1990 when he did a tour with Robby Krieger of The Doors (it was a great show with a mix of Animals, Doors and blues covers). He was a super-nice guy.

I saw someone posted some Dillard & Clark Expedition above and it got me thinking about the original Dillards, who are my favorite bluegrass band of all time. Doug Dillard was an amazing banjo player, fast as lightning. And he made it look easy, as all the greats do. For a band that did no talking when they portrayed "The Darlings" on the Andy Griffith Show, they sure made up for that live! And they were hilarious. Mitch Jayne (the standup bass player) was a great storyteller. Here's their version of Buckin' Mule from 1963:

Quite a contrast. Was that the point?
