Got some crazy ones fo' ya. I've long been a fan of Black Crowes... but wait this isn't a Black Crowes song. With the exception of a very few specific songs I've never been a Grateful Dead fan but here is Chris Robinson and buddies doing a bang-up job on "Sugaree"
And this is where it get's REALLY weird in so many ways and on so many levels. This is a bodged up version of a sort of Mini Woodstock BUT ! in of all places... Texas in 1969. The poster apparently had some problems with rights to the audio and had to resort to bodging in some of the tracks and his comments may demonstrate some of the oddball craziness that Texas seems to have Post Doc qualifications in. There's what appears to be a few regional bands in the lineup (one does a sweet job on "Po'k Salad Annie") and you just shouldn't miss the opening recording from Texas radio of the time featuring "We Need a Whole Lot More Jesus (and a lot less Rock 'n Roll)" as well as much of what was then other politically significant radio shows of the time revealing an odd mix of what the Music Biz, not to mention social change) was up against in seminal Rock music.
Also, however there is Grand Funk, Led Zeppelin. CTA, Canned Heat, Janis Joplin, Sly and the Family Stone, Spirit, Santana and several other cool glimpses into early live performances from these bands. Anyway here's almost an hour and a half of Texas weirdness with some pretty sweet high notes.
Wow! Thanks! What a sweet voice she has. That Folk-Blues style is huge for me. It doesn't move me quite like Chicago and subsequent electric Blues and Blues-Rock does but I have quite a collection of old folk blues and love and respect the simplicity and vital honesty of the art form. I regularly to this day cue up Lightnin' Hopkins one of my all-time faves.
For a derivative spinoff in direct opposition to the sweet, high voice of Ms Cotton, check this deep one out
According to Last FM this is now my third most played album of all time. Heathen Harvest described it as sounding like "being digested by some malignant AI". Additionally:

In 1968, Harlan Ellison won a Hugo Award for I Have No Mouth but I Must Scream, a dystopian nightmare around emerging supercomputers and the promise of artificial intelligence. In I Have No Mouth…, the Allied Mastercomputer, known as AM, keeps a group of humans imprisoned to suffer for eternity in its virtual belly.
Order, logic, and rationality are all well and good, but they can go too far. As primitive primates, humans will always fear the dark and the unknown; we will be constantly vigilant against chaos, despite the fact that we manufacture so much of our own suffering. Humans, especially those in the Western world, will forever try to micromanage the environments around us, to remove all pain, fear, and doubt. We wither and atrophy in our Nerf prisons as our Human faculties falter due to misuse. At a certain point, the neuroticism becomes a special new kind of Hell that makes the wolves and lions seem quaint in comparison.
A Sense of Order, released in February on Northern Electronics, is a journey into the cold, unfeeling heart of a virtual ecosystem. It brings to mind late-nineties visions of flying around in cyberspace, but this world isn’t nearly so neon and exciting. If anything, A Sense of Order brings to mind the ruined, abandoned cityscapes of Blade Runner 2049. It’s beautiful in its eeriness, at times, while still sounding desolate and forlorn.
