Johnnie Bassett - Wind Cries Mary

My favorite track from the record did not make it to the release.  I’m sharing it here because it deserves to be heard.  It’s one of the most stunning covers I’ve recorded and Johnnie truly makes it his own.  To take a rock song and turn it into a bluesy ballad with brushes on the drum kit and upright acoustic bass is a stroke of inspired production.
The horn arrangement is outstanding, with Hammond
and Rhodes neatly tying everything together.
