Mike Bloomfield, Carmelita Skiffle<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

A bar or two is all it takes recognize the signature sound of Michael Bloomfield, Jew, who exemplifies cultural appropriation at its best. My second guitar hero. My first was Dick Dale who, though not a Jew, gave us a version of Misirlou.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Warren Zevon, Carmelita<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Billy Joel, Piano Man<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Don MacLean, American Pie<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Gordon Lightfoot, The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Arlo Guthrie, The City of New Orleans<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Bob Dylan, Just Like a Woman<\/a>, Cutting Edge take.  I'll let the YouTubers gush for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tommy Johnson, Canned Heat Blues<\/a>, 1928.  Interesting guitar work and an eerie falsetto.  Sterno may light your fire but don't drink the stuff.  And now you know where Canned Heat<\/em> got their name.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hank Williams, I Can't Help it if I'm Still in Love with You<\/a>. The best rendition is 'undoubtedly' that<\/a> of the great Patsy Cline. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
