What SMOKING music are you listening to? (2025)

So when is the writers performance not the original? When thr song is recorded 3 times before the writer's first album is released. In this case by Seatrain as "I'm Willin'" in 1970, Johnny Darrell as "Willing" also in 1970 and The Byrds again in 1970

The original Little Feat version (with Ry Cooder on bottleneck guitar)


Now The Byrds played this quite regularly for 30 years it was the Linda Ronstadt cover in 1974 that made it a classic.

Lastly for this story, Commander Cody made a good cover in 1975.
