Monday Morning Video (and Audio) – Willin’

Monday, September 12, 2016 By Mayer Danzig

“Willin’,” by the late Lowell George, is one of those songs that many may not know by title but is immediately recognizable when it’s heard. It’s also a song to which many artists have gravitated over the years. Here is a video playlist of wonderful cover performances, starting with Uncle Tupelo and working through Tom Petty, Band of Heathens and Steve Earle with Blackberry Smoke. We conclude with a special Newport Folk Festival version that features Shovels & Rope, Shakey Graves, Lucius and Valerie June.

Scroll down for the live version (and a full show) by George and Little Feat that was captured in 1975 at the Auditorium Theater in Rochester, NY.
