...but Tuesday's just as bad. Wednesday's worse, and Thursday's oh so sad.
It's storming, and these are my favorite stormy songs.
First, Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan in Hamilton, Ontario, recorded on December 6, 1983. (The song was originally written by T-Bone Walker.) Some of the video isn't quite synchronized to the action, but honestly, does anyone care?
Awesomeness.

Albert King & Stevie Ray Vaughan - Stormy Monday
I first heard this version of STORMY when I was down and out on the West Coast...and it got me through a whole month, in which I played it virtually non-stop, even as I got evicted from my commune.
Yes, someday I will tell the whole story, but I don't fare so well in the telling. ;)
This will probably get pulled by the evilllll powers-that-be (yes, I'm lookin at you, Warner Music Group!) --so have a listen now. The vocals were swapped out constantly on old Santana records, so I am sorry to say I have no idea which singer this is, but he's fabulous.
But it's Carlos who really cooks, and takes us into some special, safe place where the storms can't touch us.
