7 DAY WAYBACK MUSIC CHALLENGE: WHERE IT BEGINS...

Yeah, I know, this is waaay back (not Benny Goodman wayback, but still). In junior high, the second album I ever bought was Best of the Yardbirds. The album also had a live version of Smokestack Lightning, not the same as this one, but pretty close. 1964 - live recordings had some issues, which are apparent here, but I know on my LP it was the song that I played more than any other. It was written by Willie Dixon (who seems to have written all of the really cool rock/blues songs.) The Yardbirds are famous for their succession of lead guitarists including Eric Clapton who plays on this version. But it's also the rhythm and the flow...and the harmonica is so very well played.
Thinking back on the musical journey of my life, I decided to pick the songs I dropped the needle on the most. They frequently involve longer songs, like Smokestack Lightning, that has some ebb and flow to them, mostly my early taste in blues and, of course, some psychedelic (one off an album Jerry Garcia was quoted as saying, "It's the most psychedelic album ever made.")
So, anyway, I"m thinking this should be fun and I hope someone out there enjoys it.

If he feels inclined to accept, I nominate: @irreverent-dan for this challenge.
