Comment: I saw Crenshaw cover “Every Little Thing” and his Incredible Simulators gig back in January and it remains a masterpiece brilliantly captured by one of our greatest songwriters of all times. Two of these songs are his latest releases, and the third is there because I can’t think of anybody else who would have a deep album cut just happen to be a masterpiece. Climax Blues Band are covered by Jahn Xavier on Soundcloud, but you should take the original out for a spin. Crawford missed this one on his 1970s ultimate playlist.
