Great track, but It's been around for years, very infectious though.

Something in the back of my head is telling me there was something odd with that track, where there two versions or something?

Thanks!

Very odd, MK's licks are pretty much identical!

[Neville Sherman]

Lord above. Been following MK for nearly 40 years and never heard this track at all! Tell me more. . .

For me this is the only version that comes close to the great one by Mink DeVille. Love it!

[dustyvalentino]

Thanks for sharing, hadn't heard this before.

It's OK, MK's voice is pretty shot at this point.

[Pottel]

that NHB version i knew, but did not remember. very powerful. thnx for that. and thnx for providing the name of the full album! some great collaborating artists.

[Pottel]

some great covers on that tribute album. Elvis Costello does a mean version of Sally Sue Brown

[Pottel]

amazing underrater performer by the way:
Alexander is the only songwriter whose songs have been covered on studio albums by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan (who recorded "Sally Sue Brown" on his 1988 LP Down in the Groove)
