Technically this is a cover. Bill played the guitar on the original with the band Commander Cody, however it did not include the fun narrative bridge/history of the electric guitar. Enjoy. There is a cleaner recording on the CD Hot Rod Lincoln Live, plus lots of good truck drivin' songs like Lookin' At the World Through a Windshield.
In the same vein of "technically this is a cover" - Both Jefferson Airplane songs "White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love" were originally done by Grace Slick's previous band. I heard the original for "Somebody to Love" (called "Someone to Love" by the original) and Jefferson Airplane was much better. I can't see how "White Rabbit" could be topped by the original and it definitely wasn't in the many subsequent covers I've heard.
Another many may not know was a cover and especially who did the original would be "Love Hurts" originally done by Roy Orbison and improved by Nazareth. I like Orbison a lot but in this case a band that was just okay overall did a better version.
