Volume One is here.This is Volume Two of our Multiple Mondays collection of ever-so-many versions of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' voodoo classic. (I'll only post Volume Three if someone specifically requests it.) Volume Two focuses on rockin' garage band covers (except for the Joe Cocker version), almost all from the 1960s. I haven't made any effort to arrange these in chronological order, since most of them were recorded within about five years of each other, and I can't hear any evidence that any of them inspired any of the others in any significant way.
The Animals' version is from 1966, after Alan Price had left the group to follow his solo muse -- one of his hit singles was his version of this song, also released in 1966. This entry marks two Mondays in a row with a CCR recording -- I don't think there'll be one next week, though. (Again this week I've passed up the opportunity for dueling live covers from Fogerty and his ex-bandmates, though both of them are good.)
