IDK if it’s been mentioned yet, but since this thread got bumped..
For those fans of Sturges Simpson, particularly of you didn’t really care for his last “concept” album (which was basically and FU to his label a d the industry, if you didn’t already know), but even if you did, he released two new albums last year where he basically covers all his own stuff but in a more bluegrass style. They. Are. Amazing.
Cuttin Grass Vol 1 and Vol 2

I didn’t know until today the Aerosmith version was a cover.

The Kinks album Low Budget came out in 1979. This song, "Help Me Now I'm Falling," and others reflected the fuel shortages, inflation, and general malaise of the times (Iran hostage crisis). A really sucky time for our country. I remember sitting in line for hours one July 4th filling up two cars when gas rationing was in effect. The southeast US is currently seeing some of the same due to the pipeline hack.

15-year-old me didn't think much of this tune. 50+ year old me knows how difficult it is to make anything musical out of that particular combination of harmonic distortion and sheer volume, let alone lay down a groove that effective. And all the while quoting Lightnin' Hopkins and John Lee Hooker. (Both of whom appreciated the effort.)

The https://pistol-forum.com/showthread....o-SouthWest-US thread and it's drift into Dire Wolf cloning made me think of this particular cut:
An awful lot of my productive work has happened with that album as accompaniment.

I've been going back and listening to what was playing on the "oldies" station when I was younger. The same oldies station that came on the air playing '50s music is now playing 80s-early 90s but it's still an oldies station. This doesn't make sense.Unless....

The groove is the only thing that keeps it listenable for me. I heard it so much growing up that I got burned out on it years ago. It doesn't quite make this list of "Songs I'd give minutes off the end of my life to never hear again" (looking at you Freebird) but it's close.
