Helen gave the prompt take/taking and I thought about “Take Me To The River” The song was written by Al Green and Mabon Hodges and there are many covers. I give you the original and two alternates. Enjoy!

It’s a great song and great to hear how different musicians put their own spin on it. Enjoyed listening to them all!

Nice harmonica in the Syl Johnson cover! If you were running a Battle of the Bands, that would be my choice.

I prefer Syl too. Then Al. With Talking Heads bringing up the rear.

Love this song. The Talking Heads version is good. The white shirt the guitar player is wearing reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where he wore the pirate shirt, but the lead singer makes my eyes hurt if I watch him shaking his head.
