One of my favorite songs of all time, not my favorite version though.

Everyone else is drawing dead. This hand is the nuts.

Was that a blind joke, subby?

I wonder, if Ray could see, do you think he'd have worn that jacket?

This may be sacrilege, but I present to you the one guy who can do the song better than Stevie....

Jonny Lang (new window)

Holy. Flarking. Shnit!

Do you think Ray knew he was playing a keyboard made to look like a piano?

Ray and Stevie are blind, but Paul is dead.

Gives new meaning to "blind leading the blind"

Living for the City? Bummer. I thought they were doing this (new window)

Crimminy. Lose the orchestra and the singers, I can't hear Ray and Stevie. Isn't that the whole point?

So very much, THIS. Jonny Lang's version is much better. The kid has the best blues voice I've heard in a while.

Lang was great in that, but his band didn't do much for me. They didn't quite have the groove that Stevie's music needs. They played it too straight.

Now on the other hand, probably the worst bastardization of of that song I've ever heard (new window).
