Default Blue Monday

Blue Monday is a Fats Domino song. LB belts it out while (presumably) Christine McVie plays piano. Interesting because Blue Monday has been noted by LB as one his favorite songs. The disk that I had also had alternate versions of Eyes of the World and a few others. Definitely worth a listen.

Also, I forgot to add Big Yellow Taxi to the list. LB recorded a version of the Joni Mitchell classic for a tribute album (later released, but without the LB version).

LB also covered the George Harrison classic Here Comes the Sun for a New Years special the year Harrison died. He gave it the "Big Love" treatment. The producers did not care for the LB interpretation and they asked him to change it or they were going to pull it. Reportedly, LB threw his guitar across the hotel room. The producers backed down and let LB perform his interpretation live. If you look closely at the video, you can see a hole in his guitar.
