Recall also that the remastered CD of _Hawkwind_ includes "Bring it on
Home," credited to (Willie) Dixon, as a bonus track.  So, this blues tune
would count as another Hawkwind cover version.

Speaking of blues, I wonder if Dave Brock was inspired by Skip James.
(I'll have to check the cyberspace interview to see if he cites him.)
Brock's early acoustic work (esp. "Hurry on Sundown") bears the hallmarks
of James' Bentonia style, as it also does of the Piedmont bluesmen in
general.  (Love that fingerpickin' style!)

Cheers,

Paul.
