It’s a joy when a song is out there that satisfies on several levels. It’s even better when several performers or musical groups cover it, and you find that you can listen to these versions and like them all, but for slightly different reasons.
That’s the case with today’s songs. My dreams last night ended with me awakening to this song, “Take Me to the River.” My brain was originally streaming Al Green’s version. I mean, it’s Al Green. But I drifted to the Talking Heads’ take on it, and that stayed with me as I walked and got into the writing mood.

But, just in case, here’s Al Green performing, with a few guests. I enjoy the different lyrics from the Heads’ version.

If you can hear Rev Al Green doTHAT and sit still, you ain’t got no soul! Here’s a more upbeat version of Let’s Stay Together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNrSg4ZVhj8
