I've fished through the archives, but I never noticed this thread before, yet it's a good one.
You can't go wrong with "Moneymaker". It's Jeremy's raw blues slide playing at it's finest. While I think this is far superior to Butterfield's take, Jerome Arnold (bass player for Butterfield, also played for Howlin' Wolf) plays like a beast during the second half of Butterfield's version.
I don't know if it's been mentioned but "My Heart Beat Like a Hammer" is a BB King tune with a new arrangement.
I like:
Stranger Blues from Boston Tea Party
Linda (with great back-up vocals from Green and Kirwan)
My Baby's Good To Me
This is the Rock
Can't Afford to Do It (I love the off mic back-up vocals, great touch)
Someone's Gonna Get Their Head Kicked In Tonight
I'm Worried (the best of the Elmore James "Dust My Broom" progression tunes)
I was unaware that Spencer did an album with songs that sound like Rumours era FM. I have to check that out.
