Sweet Jane is great song. What did you think of Mott the Hoople’s version? It was my favorite.

It's a good version, still like Lou Reed's version the best though. Just my bias. 😋

Ever hear of Peter Green who was the founder of Fleetwood Mac as a Blues band in 1967 but left in 1970?

Ever hear him do this song as a solo endeavor:

Peter Green - Jumping At Shadows

Peter Green also wrote & performed the song Black Magic Woman that Santana covered and made it a big hit. If you remain at the link you will hear him doing Black Magic woman right after Jumping At Shadows finishes. 😋

The interesting thing about the song Jumping At Shadows is that Green was eventually diagnosed with schizophrenia and spent time in psychiatric hospitals undergoing electroconvulsive therapy during the mid-1970s. The song was actually written by Tony "Duster" Bennett who was based in London, his first album Smiling Like I'm Happy saw him playing as a one-man band, playing a bass drum with his foot and blowing a harmonica on a rack while strumming a 1952 Les Paul Goldtop guitar given to him in 1968 by Peter Green. He died in 1976 in an auto accident. I wonder it that played any role in Peter green's mental issues?
