edna Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) "Season Of The Witch" Vanilla Fudge Written by Donovan Leitch. Here's the facts for the original song. Vanilla Fudge recorded tehir version for their June 1968 album, "Renaissance". The band also interpolates lyrics from a second Essra Mohawk song, "We Never Learn", into their rendition of "Season of the Witch". The cover of Donovan's "Season of the Witch" does more with those two famous chords than most. It is a highlight and proves that covers should have been evenly matched with the originals on these early discs. That's what got them the audience in the first place, and reinvention is what they did best. The single, released in june 1968 had "Season Of The Witch, Pt.1"as the A-side and "Season Of The Witch, Pt.2" as the B-side. It made #65 on Billboard Hot 100.

edna Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 "Rebels" Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers Written by Tom Petty. A track of his 1985 album, "Southern Accent", it was also the first single released from the LP. It made #74 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop list. Petty broke his hand in 1984, while recording this song for the album, ...so high on drugs that he couldn't get an arrangement he liked. Petty went into the control room, and put the original demo tape on, which featured just him and a Rickenbacker 12-string guitar. This made him so furious that he stormed up the stairs into his house, and punched the wall with his left hand, causing him to powder it. After a while, Tom Petty called Jimmy Iovine in to help him finish "Rebels" along with some other tracks on Southern Accents. Alan "Bugs" Weidel, Tom's roadie, considers "Rebels" a least favorite of his due to Petty's broken hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Rebels - Tom Petty During the recording stage of this song, Tom Petty went into the control room to listen to the demo tape, which featured him with a Rickenbacker 12 string guitar. This made him very agitated as he was on drugs at the time, so he went upstairs and punched the wall so hard that he broke it and was unable to perform or record for quite some time.

edna Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 "The Supernatural" John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers Written by Peter Green. A track from "A Hard Road", released on February 1967. The notable instrumental track "The Supernatural", a guitar improvisation in the key of D minor, has much in common with Peter Green's later hit composition "Black Magic Woman". ...devastating instrumental "Supernatural." Green's use of thick sustain on this track clearly pointed the way to his use of guitar riffs with elongated, slithery tones on Fleetwood Mac's "Albatross" and "Black Magic Woman," as well as anticipating some aspects of Carlos Santana's style.

edna Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 "Last Night" The MarKeys Written by Charles Axton, Floyd Newman, Gilbert C. Caple, Jerry Lee Smith, and Chips Moman. An instrumental track from their 1961 album "Last Night!", released as a single in June 1961. B-sided by "Night Before". The song made #3 in the Pop Charts and #2 in the R&B charts in the US. It was the title tune for"Salut les Copains", a very popular radio show in France. According to Steve Cropper, in an interview with Paul Nassari of the Sunday Mail newspaper (Adelaide, Australia), "Jerry Lee ‘Smoochy’ Smith came up with the piano riff that was played on organ. Since [producer Chips] Moman didn’t want a guitar on it for whatever reason, I wound up playing the hold-down on the organ on the root note. "It hurts me in the Mar-Keys history when people say I wasn’t in the Mar-Keys because there’s no guitar on Last Night but I have to differ with them."
