Well, it’s Sunday morning and I think it’s time for a little music. Thought I’d play a great version of one of my favorite songs, 1952 Vincent Black Lightning, written and originally performed by Richard Thompson. This version is from Del McCoury and puts a wonderful bluegrass twist on the song that fits very well. I enjoy hearing songs done in a different genre like this. I’d love to hear Del McCoury do a version of 409 from the Beach Boys. It’s a song built for bluegrass and his flat, plaintive voice.
There’s something very lyrical in the name of this mythic motorcycle. Vincent Black Lightning. I think I’d like to come back in another life with that name. I can only imagine…
Anyway, until that happens, give a listen and enjoy…
