My tastes lean more towards roots rock, so I prefer Dave Alvin’s version — but I confess to playing the living hell out of “Under The Big Black Sun” during my years as a college station DJ.
For a while X’s version of “Breathless” made it on almost every compilation tape I made.
I can dig it.
You’ll probably get this - I po’d John Doe once when I told him I liked their cover of “All or Nothing” on the Ain’t Love Grand? LP… ;)
The Boss has come to really love their early stuff and I’m trying to get her to check out the Knitters…
