Eric Clapton - Just One Night |
Cover: Tulsa TimeOriginally recorded by Don Williams, who had a #1 country hit with it in 1978, Clapton put a blues and slide guitar spin on it and made it his own. It is the opening song on his 'Just One Night' double live album. Clapton is said to have had a fondness for Tulsa, Oklahoma, as several of his band members and musicians he jammed with over the years were from Tulsa, including singer/songwriter Leon Russell. |

David Bowie - Let's Dance |
Cover: Let's DanceFrom the album of the same name, "Let's Dance" rose up the charts at meteoric speed and went all the way to #1 - Bowie's only single to hit number one on both sides of the Atlantic. Produced by Nile Rogers with Stevie Ray Vaughan on guitar, "Let's Dance" - both the song and the album - turned a whole new generation on to the genius of David Bowie. |
Steely Dan - Can't Buy A Thrill |
Cover: Reelin' In The YearsThis mega hit by Steely Dan from their debut album 'Can't Buy A Thrill', went all the way to #11 on the pop charts in 1973. The combination of this song and the hit "Do It Again" helped make this album a huge success right out of the gate - first going gold and then going platinum. Legendary Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page has said that Elliott Randall's guitar solo on "Reelin' In the Years" is his favorite solo of all time. |
