Jerry slays this laid-back (yet still kickin') version. Sweet stuff here, into a strong Big River.

Just a blistering drum beat to propel this one! Good stuff!

Are there better versions out there? Undoubtedly! But this is still worthy of an entry. Some nice, tinkling piano.

Some good noodling here, but for me, it's the drums that just move this one along quite nicely. Never a favorite tune of mine, but they handle it here with aplomb, and make it feel so fresh.

I agree with the comment that this version has a "mature" sound to it. There's a lot of fun behind this one, a fluidity. Worth a listen for sure.

There's a lot of soul here... Best version ever? No, obviously. Worth checking out? Absolutely!
