Guitar Slim This guy has a credible claim to being the co-creator of Rock 'n' Roll (it had a lot of fathers and Oh! What a mother...!) on the strength of 1 song. Everybody who's anybody in Rock or the Blues has covered it. Long career and always a credible writer/player.

Taj Mahal How many separate careers has he had anyway? I'll tell you one durned thing: when he cooks, you eat--an inventive gourmet chef that just loves to satisfy. His infectious spirit is not a persona--it's Taj Mahal.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIvhiwFLrMI << strong case to be made that this is the defining version. A showcasing presentation by the band. Have mercy! and get some body parts moving...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaJeCda34HE << dancing's phony; real hula dancers are, shall we say, more statuesque/robust and know how to do the jelly roll for real. Fun song anyway.

BONUS: How's this for a 3-fer? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwBwOSewwnE << this week's and possibly every week's Gospel pick. The funeral cortege's tune of choice...
