Love this Robin Trower cover.

That's awesome! I hadn't heard it.

Robin Trower could be in the underrated thread.

Great tune

I didn't know this wasn't a Stevie Wonder original until a few years ago.



Jeff Beck did it originally. I like his too. More my kind of music. Sounds like it could have been released today. Not sure why it was never on the radio while I was growing up.

People might put me on 'Ignore' for this but I think The Cowboy Junkies did this song a lot better than the original.

Extra bonus: Joan Jett did a cover of “Crimson and Clover” ... it’s very good ... nice eery flow to it!
Many covered that song.

If you've ever listened to NOFX, it's basically them. I can't remember which member of MFatGGs is not an original member of NOFX but they are the core of the band. They cover EVERYTHING. From show tunes to country. Really fun music to listen to on a road trip. They're a surprise a minute, for sure.

Saw them at Glen Helen in Oct 2015, Scalper. Well NOFX, not MeFirst. Pennywise, Strung Out were other bands there. I had a huge punk phase when I was a teenager/early twenties. A friend of mine plays in a band -- The Pawns -- and is opening for The Distillers
