One Way Out, Elmore James (1960) James recorded the song in 1960 but it wasn’t released until 1965, two years after his death; Sonny Boy Williamson II covered it in 1961 (released in 1962);  in 1965 G. L. Crockett reworked it and recorded It’s A Man Down There. There have been many covers since, with The Allman Bros. Band‘s 1971 version being the best known.

Saturday Matinee – The Blind Boys of Alabama, Toby Beard & King King

Jaw-dropping rendition of the gospel standard by The Blind Boys of Alabama. The lyrics were penned by English abolitionist Rev. John Newton in 1773, and the tune predates House of the Rising Sun by decades.

Toby Beard  is a blast from Down Under [h/t Aerchie].

King King features frontman Alan Nimmo and brother Stevie on rhythm guitar, with Jonny Dyke (keyboard), Andrew Scott (drums) and Zander Greenshields (bass). Unpretentious blues rock with a kilt.

Quite an odd week, got some milestone decisions to think about, so I’ll be sitting on the porch with the dogs and a Coleman if you want to stop by for a slab of coldies.
