It would be a game changer.
Crow and his band rose to the bar for a raucous recording of the Rolling Stones’ “Start Me Up,” an ambitious move, of course, and a practical frame of reference for the rock ‘n’ roll logo that highlighted their hour from the start.
After setting the tone with “If It Makes You Happy,” Crow followed with classics like “A Change Will Do You Good,” the decidedly Stones’ “My Favourite Mistake” (which reminds me of “Goats Head Soup”), his stellar canopy of Cat Stevens’ “The First Cut Is the Deepest,” his groundbreaking singleness “All I need to Do” and “Every Day Is a Winding Road. “
