  8. Let me mess it up.....(that's not the title BTW)

    A blues song by Chester Burnett (written by Willie Dixon) but covered by a prog rock band.

  10. LOVE that :upyeah:

    The story behind how they came to cover it is pretty touching too.

    That particular song also has resonance as it was in memory of the two boys killed in the Warrington IRA bombing and my parents and twin brothers narrowly escaped being caught in the blast as they'd walked past the spot where it went off only minutes beforehand. I remember a frantic few hours trying to contact them and waiting to hear that they were ok as I knew they'd visited the town that day and the twins were about the same age as one of the victims.
