From their excellent 2019 covers collection, here are Plainfield, New Jersey's Doughboys and their take on "Everybody Knows My Name."
Who did this originally, you might ask?
Well, I hadn't a clue when I first heard it, but a quick search took me to some other Jersey Boys. Deep into Side Two of their 1966 album "Working My Way Back To You," the very last track actually, you will find Frankie Valli and the other three Seasons doing their best Bob Dylan on Bob Gaudio's original.
Nice pull, Doughboys.

Awesome post. I love the Doughboys covers album. To me it captures everything a covers album should be - at a minimum each song should be reverential to the original, but not a mere karaoke version. Bob Gaudio had a great run.
Richard X Heyman, great talent. One of my favorite CDs is "Hey Man!"

Off the top of my head, the three albums I've got because of this blog leading me to them are the two Whiffs albums and this Doughboys cover album. So, thanks again!
