I had to go old school for this week, mainly because I can’t get enough of this song. Hopefully you’ll feel the same. Before there was Van Morrison there was Them. I mean they were Them. I mean, err…never mind. Founded in 1964 out of Belfast, the band released one single unsuccessfully before going in to record their version of Big Joe Williams, “Baby Please Don’t Go.” The band’s manager brought in session musicians to help record, one of them being none other then Jimmy Page.
