Covers: Statesboro Blues
Blind Willie McTell recorded his song “Statesboro Blues” in 1928. His version is acoustic. The best known modern version is by the Allman Brothers (1971) which was based on Taj Mahal’s 1968 electric version.
Covers: Release Me
“Release Me” has been successful as an R&B, country and pop song. The best known versions are by Esther Phillips (1962) and Englebert Humperdinck (1967). I am partial to the country version by Lyle Lovett/k.d. lang (2012) on the album with the same name.
