THAT'S RIGHT, COOL.

Mose Allison might not be a familiar name to anyone who doesn't backtrack covers to check out the original versions. That said, any of you non-backtrackers that are into the Who or the Yardbirds would do well to check out the trio of songs posted at Funky Sixteen Corners. Included are the original versions of "I'm Not Talkin'" (covered by the Yardbirds) and "Young Man Blues" (covered by the Who) along with Allison's cover of Willie Dixon's "Seventh Son". Allison's originals may seem tame in comparison, but trust me on this, your cornucopia is big enough. Just for giggles, there's another Allison cover down there, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers' version of his "Parchman Farm".
