It's Covered: Call It Stormy Monday

Sometimes, post topics speak for themselves. Today is Monday, and the weather has been pretty crappy all day.

Originally written by T-Bone Walker in 1947, "Call It Stormy Monday" remains one of the all-time great 12-bar blues standards. Today, we'll check out a couple of takes by some blues legends, as well as the long haired hippie version by some southern rock legends, and a take by Bowie local legend.
