???? The lyrics must make you nervous; maybe they're aimed at you.

The problem with this song is that I always reach for my phone - I think it is ringing.

I love Kottke and the dobro adds a great deal. But when "Oh, Well" was originally recorded, Peter Green was just beginning to struggle with adult-onset, progressive schizophrenia, possibly the most debilitating and intractable of all mental illnesses (was 45 years ago, still is today). Knowing that and hearing the utter cogency of his lyrics and the indict-us-all nature of the message makes the original something more than just a successful work of popular music. Which it is to the nth-degree.

I never knew this. Fateful and tragic.

{#Cheers} Yeah. I'm not an iTunes user but I can sure relate. Still chuckling...

Kottke is a great musician but I can't see that this adds at all to the song's legacy...sort of a why bother cover to me.

uber cool take on Peter Green's masterpiece... be amazing if those two ever bumped into each other.

Great cover to play - had never heard it. More fun guitar work than the Fleetwood Mac/Peter Green days original.
