Update (9\/1). <\/strong> Ed Farrell writes, "The Little Feat version of I'm Willin is a good one.  But my favorite version will probably remain the one done by Seatrain<\/a> circa<\/em> 1970–which was the standard road song for Sierra climbing trips in late high school\/college.  Seatrain<\/a> never really took off as a band but their musicianship was quite good though their style was difficult to pigeonhole."<\/span><\/p>\n

That is a good version, indeed better than Little Feat's.  There were a lot of great bands back in the day that never really made it.  Another is Fever Tree<\/a>.  I remember hearing them circa<\/em> '68 live at a club called The Kaleidoscope  in Hollywood or West L. A.  Give a careful listen to The Sun Also Rises<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ed also recommends Seatrain's version of the Carole King composition, Creepin Midnight<\/a>.  Produced by George Martin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, please take a look at Ed's spectacular photography<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
