Default Curtis Bros. Blue Letter
If you've ever wondered to yourself "self, I wonder what the Curtis Bros'. version of "Blue Letter" sounded like," well you shall know! It will be available for download soon. Hopefully. It will probably be available when you can see the pics in my sig. Damn Geocities.

Thanks so much, SteveMacD!!!! never heard this before! Cool version. Lindsey's more compact, but I like the hamonica in this original. It has a little bit more melody but a little less "spunk" then "our" coverversion.

The Curtis Bros version sounds like it could be an Eagles tune.

Obviously, what makes Fleetwood Mac's version stand out is what John McVie did to the bass line of the song...just *BAM* kicks it up a notch!

For some reason, it sounds like it could have been on one of Billy Burnette's early '80s solo albums. The guy even sounds a little like Billy.

K - this is okay. But I have to say I miss the harmonies that no one can quite do like Lindsey and Stevie....

But thanks for posting it!

John's kind of a cool dude, no doubt about it.

What's he up to these days?
