Johnny Rivers C/D?

This revive is hitting the spot. “Poor Side of Town” and “Secret Agent Man” are obvious favorites, but so many of his covers are surprisingly good, including “Positively 4th Street.” Maybe Dylan himself said something good about it, don’t know where to look for that, maybe upthread.

Heh.

Johnny Rivers shows up a bit in the JJ Cale documentary 'To Tulsa and Back' as Cale led the band that was their house replacement group at the Whiskey Au Go Go when Rivers was off or on the road. That booking was when John Cale became JJ, as the owner of the Whiskey already knew about John Cale from the VU.

Another thing I picked up somewhere was Johnny Rivers did pretty well with the money, as he got paid handsomely doing all those early Vegas bookings and was able to roll them into other investments.

"Poor Side of Town," one of the greatest singles ever.

yes!!!!
