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.

Led Zep Takes Cat Fight
“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!
