Clicking to YouTube from here led to me seeing a vid of Irma, Dolly Parton, Dr. John and Allen Toussaint doing a spirited version of Working In A Coalmine, which was unexpectedly great. And then I clicked on Today's Cover Version, and that was great, too! Thanks! C in California
Oh man!!! Ry Cooder and Buckwheat Zydeco playing with the Soul Queen of New Orleans!!!! And I thought the studio version with Sonny Landreth's slide could never be topped.
Here's the video that C in California was referring to in his post. Its from the old Storyville Music Club. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWEKKN1TAms
Saw her last week at French Quarter Fest and she hasn't lost a thing. She's still singing "It's Raining" and "You Can Have My Husband, But Please Don't Mess With My Man" in the same keys she originally recorded them! She's 83!
