In this ongoing Monday
Series we will be exploring various artists versions of Bob Dylan
song's. Today's tune comes from Raising Scarlett and is a live cover
of "Thunder On The Mountain"
Thoughts on Dylan Original:
From the first time we tackled a cover of this tune:
The opening track on Dylan's 2006 album Modern Times, "Thunder On
The Mountain" has all the ingredients of a classic; ingenious word
play, a rhythmic backbone and some sweet fret work. In my original review of Modern Times I quoted three sets of lyrics from this tune. It is epic and fits in with the heavyweights of Dylan's past.

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
I am not familiar with Raising Scarlett. They are a Rockabilly group and here is an article on them. The players here are: Tammy Lynn (vocals), Mike Myles (guitar), Mike "Papa" Solis (bass), and Bill "Fitz" Fitzpatrick (drums).
Thoughts on Cover:
The band takes this song over and makes it theirs, I love the lyric switch to address Jerry Lee, that is a great move. I don't mind the other lyric misses or changes that much because the song is cooking. Enjoy it on this chilly Monday.
