Funny story: John was in a supermarket shopping in the 80s when he heard Fortunate Son on the speaker.
The song sounded somewhat off to his ear. He was confused.
Come to find out it was a cover of Fortunate Son by Bob Seger from the Like A Rock album.
It’s a great cover by Seger!
My younger brother used to go to a lot of concerts in the 70s. He said the hottest chicks he ever saw were at Rod Stewart concerts. To be honest.......I’m more of a Sinatra guy. His album released in 1969 called Watertown is now called “genius” in it’s arrangements and words.....:)
SHUTUP AND PLAY
And if you’re done playing get off the stage!
Realize it is basically a lefty song (maybe less so lately), but it’s a great song and a fantastic record. IYKWIM.
I think he’s right. Double tracking would’ve smoothed out the
screaming.
That album is produced by one of the Four Seasons, and co-written by the guy who wrote the “I’m a Pepper” jingle.
I really like his solo stuff, from “Blue Ridge Rangers” to “Blue Moon Swamp” and everything in between.
