original recording artist?
"Bad Case of Loving You" by Robert Palmer is anemic compared to the rocking Moon Martin original. Same for "Cadillac Walk" by Moon.
Moon, in fact, is one of the greatest "unknown" artists of American music--- kind of a crazy mix of Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly.
His first two cds are chock full of great songs.
Lucinda Williams is as good a writer/performer as he but, lucky for her, she broke through.
Moon always has been eclipsed.
