Traditional, by Leadbelly, CCR, and many others: Midnight Special

Bill, tgo

Jimi Hendrix - Midnight Lightening

Hendrix did "Midnight Lightning". 

I believe "Midnight Lightening" was Michael Jackson!

hehehehe

Howlin' Wolf:  Smokestack Lightning

Bill, tgo

Midnight Lightning was a posthumous compilation album by Hendrix released in 1975 which consists of post-Experience recordings. One of the cuts was "Midnight Lightning"  I believe that was a few years before Michael Jackson hehehehe.








I'll follow your Smokestack Lightening with...Steely Dan - Chain Lightning (from Katy Lied, 1975)

Jimi had lightning.  Howlin' Wolf had lightning.  MJ was too busy lightening.

The Pretenders:  Back On The Chain Gang

Bill, tgo

Written by Red Lane, recorded by many, "Blackjack County Chain".

Peter (who is aware that some artists use "Chains", but Red wrote it as "Chain")

The Chipmunk - Coward Of The County

Sorry for that, Folks...

Matt Serletic and Bernie Taupin as done by Willie Nelson and Lee Ann Womack - Mendocino County Line (from the Great Divide, 2002).


Amazing how song writers (especially those from the country genre) have historically been so interested in county lines.

Why are you sorry?  That was a huge improvement over the original!
