Well, I've no idea if this is the easy link you were expecting, but... was the Joker also a bartender at one point?

Lenny Kravitz covered Jimi's "Hey Joe"

 

Here's the link to that:

but my song is Lenny Kravitz own song, "Black Velveteen":

 

 

Awesome song and appropriate given our venue here!

 

"Black Velveteen's cat smell's like strawberry kittens" Yeah it does, lick.

 

Have a great day,

 

Chuck

And what on earth is the connection with Soundgarden, I hear you cry? The both played Bluesfest a couple of years ago, headlining different stages on the same night so I couldn't see them both. Soundgarden got my vote :)

tegan and sara are playing this year the same day as Eric Burdon and I have tickets.

 

He sounds as good now as he did with the Animals:
