The plan — if we can call it that — is to make this a cover‑version week. I say “plan” loosely because the week isn’t fully mapped out, and honestly, that’s half the fun. Maybe it’ll be a glorious run of rediscovered gems; maybe it’ll be a beautiful mess. Either way, we’re diving in.
Today, we’re rocking things up a bit.
Pacific Gas & Electric were one of those gloriously eclectic outfits who never felt the need to stay in a single lane. Blues, soul, rock, gospel — they stirred it all together like it was the most natural thing in the world. Their very first 45, a cover of Wade in the Water, is a perfect example. They take that spiritual standard and give it a gospel‑bluesy, soulful rock approach that feels both reverent and rebellious, like a revival tent pitched right next to an amplifier stack.
It’s a cover that doesn’t just reinterpret the song — it recharges it.
