I must really like Otis Redding's Hard to Handle. In addition to Otis' sweat soaked original, I love versions by the Grateful Dead and even the Black Crowes. The most recent version that I discovered was by Tony Joe White. He, of course, is mainly remembered these days as a "one hit wonder" for his 1969 hit Polk Salad Annie. That is a great song, but there was/is more to Tony Joe.
With that unique voice and vocal style, I'm surprised that he wasn't more successful. Well, at least we have the records.
