Padraig turned me onto Little's album "Messenger" years ago and it remains one of my favorite records, bridging two musical generations perfectly. This live performance intensifies the effect. Many thanks to Spence for sending me the link to this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i76J4kO8e CA&feature=related   Andrew Kerr Member Username: Andrew_k Post Number: 679 Registered: 04-2005 Posted on Wednesday, December 21, 2011 - 09:09 pm:    Thanks a lot for that Randy. Such a unique song and I imagine quite difficult to cover and yet his version work   Greg Adams Member Username: Greg_adams Post Number: 26 Registered: 06-2005 Posted on Wednesday, December 21, 2011 - 11:46 pm:    Jimmy Little's early recordings, such as "Shadow of a Boomerang," are good too.   Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 4185 Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Friday, December 23, 2011 - 10:45 am:    Thanks for the link Randy (and Spence).
