#2299 – SEASON OF THE WITCH - 10/31/2019
This is proof that a good song can have staying power even
without scoring chart success. It is almost hard to believe this song was
originally released in 1966. Jimmy Page, who was a sought-after studio musician
at the time, plays the sinewy guitar that slithers through the track. I first
recall hearing it when I bought and played the soundtrack to “More American
Graffiti”. I’ve been a fan ever since.
This is one of the more classic songs from the psychedelic
era of the 60’s. It has been redone by the likes of: Hole, Lana Del Rey,
Richard Thompson, Joan Jett, the Vanilla Fudge, Jellyfish, Robert Plant, Stephen
Stills, Dr. John & Lou Rawls.
Lou Rawls (?).
