about

Here's a bit of a "deep cut" for Week 2 of "Beatles Month." Since I was around the music of The Beatles since birth, The Anthology was the first Beatles material that I got to "discover." Between "Free As Bird," "Real Love," and then cuts like "That Means A Lot" and this one that I never heard before, my mind was blown. Even the songs that were deemed not strong enough for B-Sides were incredible.

After LUZER broke up, I put together a little blues trio to play some shows doing some covers and blues-tinged originals (which is also where previous Song Of The Week "Way Too Long" originated from). I had an idea for taking this tune and kind of flipping the idea of 60's British Invasion acts covering old blues songs, by making a 60's British Rock tune and making it a blues song. It wasn't until then, more than a decade after I first heard it, that I learned that this wasn't written by John & Paul! So...it's essentially just a cover of an old blues tune. BUT, the only version I ever knew was The Beatles take on it, so to me it really was a tribute to The Beatles "Leave My Kitten Alone" (much like my Rick Nelson tribute of "The Very Thought Of You"). Also, after last week's fairly faithful tribute to "You're Going To Lose That Girl", I wanted a bit of a curve ball for this second entry, so I decided to still include it in with Beatles month.

See you next week with one from The Beatles eponymous album, better known as The White Album...any guesses?
