For some reason, this one seemed to jump at me when I was thinking about picking a song this evening.
This is, of course, a cover of the traditional Folk/Blues made famous by The Animals. One major difference about Frijid Pink's version of this song is the change in time signature from the traditional 6/8 to a common 4/4. The song also has more of a psychedelic sound led by a driving bass and drums with a heavily distorted guitar.

Here is the studio version on YouTube.
Here is a television performance of the song on YouTube.



My song pick a year ago today: Jaco Pastorius - Portrait of Tracy
