That is a great tune and really holds up, I heard it just the other day and I thought: this is one of the few songs that you enjoy every single time you hear it.
I think The Animals’ version of “St. James Infirmary” is also great, it’s sort of like a lost classic. I’ve never heard it on the radio or anything, but I had it on an album years ago.
