As always, very cool Rachael!
Foghat covered "It'll Be Me"...I'll have to find that one.
You may know that Jerry Lee recorded that (at least) twice at SUN.
The album version was slower, the 45 was fast and a favorite of a young John Lennon.
Is your NRBQ cut the one with Carl Perkins?

Henry, It'll Be Me was on Foghat's Zig Zag Walk. When I digiized it, it was the second time the record had ever been played. When I originally got it, I made a tape of it. Can you say flawless? Ditto for Boogie Motel.
The NRBQ cut came off of Grooves In Orbit which I think is one of the greatest rock albms ever recorded. I can't find any mention of Carl Perkins playing on it. The cover mentions John Sebastian playing on two cuts. There's no mention of Perkins or any other sidemen. I wish I had all of NRBQ's albums. I keep looking. I would not be suprised if they played with Perkins at some point in their long career. The song I used is a Johnny Cash tune.
I think I've heard Great Balls Of Fire on 45 but I'm not positive. Somebody loaned me a pile of singles about 20 years ago. I'm thinking GBOF was one of 'em...? I do remember that It'll Be Me was on the flipside. It was the first ime I'd ever heard it and it made an impression on me. Anyway, I've never picked up on the differences in versions, if I've heard both...?
I've already started another Covered disc. It has one song so far, Dexy's Midnight Runners doing Van Morrison's Jackie Wilson Said. It'll fill in gradually as I digitize vinyl.....Best wishes from the vinyl depository!
