GOOD music lasts. It resonates and it’s something special. This week’s chart topper is one such piece.

It’s a song originally recorded on a very early Fleetwood Mac album, Mr. Wonderful, and this is an excellent new version recorded by contemporary blues artist Will Wilde for his ‘Bring It on Home’ album.
