 Draftervoi says:

"More cassettes from my box of tapes I got in trade years and years and years ago.
I usually like to feather in these tapes because they're not master copies; as mentioned they're several generations down the line and not up to my exacting standards.  Plus, I want to leave days open for the other authors to put up their posts, too. 
However, we had a special request from a member of Our Beloved Voodoo Wagon Audience, one JPB in DC,who writes, "Any chance you have the November 1988 show at the Bayou, broadcast on WHFS? I recall it being a great show (I was there for both sets), with Clive Gregson and Christine Collister doing excellent opening sets." 
Well, here in the Voodoo Wagon Secret Orbital Satellite Headquarters, we aim to please, so JPB in DC, this one's for you!
In return, JPB in DC, please tell us something about the Bayou.  What was it like as a club?"

Diamonds in the Mine (1967 Version)Leonard Cohenimage

And there are no clothes upon the clothesline
And there are no sheets upon the bed
And there are no agents to decipher, darling
All the thoughts that go on in your h
ead


here an early version that perfectly illustrates Leonard’s song writing process they often sounded completely different and where written and re-written until recording ( and afterwards too in many cases - See ‘Hallelujah' who’s definitive version is really an arrangement by John Cale being the version that Jeff Buckley recorded and has since gone on to fame being covered by all and sundry but the original was very VERY different . . . .and I still very much doubt anyone singing it today has any full understanding of what it is they are singing (Cale and Buckley notwithstanding!) It is said he re-wrote it and was given to turning up at recording sessions with great sheaves of re-written pages! sic!

The version at The Isle of Wight is also vastly different to this easy demo and as distinct from the recorded version as it’s possible to be . . . . .there is another version recorded live dedicated to newly elected Ronald Reagan in 1980!

The perennial blues problem!? WILLIE DIXON - I DON’T TRUST NOBODY!

 "I Don't Trust Nobody" (Willie Dixon) - Live in Montreux on July 15th, 1983

Willie Dixon (Vocals) Arthur Butch Dixon (Piano) Sugar Blue (Harp) John Watkins (Guitar) Freddie Dixon (Bass) Clifton James (Drums)

Willie explores the current puzzlements of gender and has it always been thus?  
Either way I don’t trust nobody . . .whether it is some little girl stole my gal or when my pal James around midnight identifies as Fanny-Mae? Same all over the world!
