Dorsey Gets “Bertha Lou”

“Bertha Lou ”

Dorsey Burnette : 58 Votes

Clint Miller : 32 Votes

Both Dorsey and Clint rocked the hell outta “Bertha Lou”, but the Prowlers have chosen Dorsey’s original version of the song as their favorite!

This week’s Friday Night Cat Fight focuses on one of the most popular song themes, TRAIN SONGS! This show is only part one of a multi-part series on TRAIN SONGS and features great tunes from Johnny Cash, The Cardinals, Tom Waits, Rufus Thomas, Al Green and many more.

I also trace the history of the rock n’ roll classic, “The Train Kept A-Rollin’,” which was written by and originally recorded by Tiny Bradshaw in 1951. Tiny’s up against some of the greatest guitar solos in history as The Johnny Burnette Rock n’ Roll Trio (guitar: Paul Burlison), The Yardbirds (guitar: Jeff Beck) and Aerosmith (guitar: Joe Perry) all have a crack at it.

“Whole Lotta Love ”

Led Zeppelin : 42 Votes

Muddy Waters “You Need Love” : 30 Votes

Small Faces “You Need Loving” : 15 Votes

Led Zeppelin made “Whole Lotta Love” their own in 1969, but they didn’t do it without inspiration from both Muddy Waters and The Small Faces. I hope you dug that little history of a rock n’ roll classic?

This week’s Cat Fight Show is entirely based on Rockabilly Music and girls’ names. Dig on the show and then vote for either Dorsey Burnette OR Clint Miller over the classic “Bertha Lou.” Get the interesting story behind that tune and many others now on The Friday Night Cat Fight!

“Did You See Jackie Robinson Hit That Ball “

Buddy Johnson : 44 Votes

Count Basie : 39 Votes

We had a great competition over the past two weeks between two heavy weights: Buddy Johnson and Count Basie. In the end though, Buddy’s R&B; hit version of “Did You See Jackie Robinson Hit That Ball” beat out Basie’s non-hit. What a great start to what is already shaping up to be an interesting baseball season.

This week, we trace the history and evolution of the Led Zeppelin classic, “Whole Lotta Love”. It should come as no surprise that Zeppelin found a lot of inspiration in American blues as they are nothing more than a hard rockin’ blues band. Dig the show and vote for the version of the song you dig the most. I’ve also included a doo wop version of “Whole Lotta Love” in the mix, just to keep things interesting.
