Crow - Evil Woman (original version)

[visigots1]

This could pass for many of the horn based bands of the era.BS&T,CHICAGO ETC.Though a much different subject matter.

[TheFrogfur]

Crow never got the airplay they deserved. I wish someone would release their original LPs on cd or for downloading.

[PoserExposer]

good bass battering on this track,Sabbath did a good job with it also

[SanAndreasVagos]

Black Sabbath, Crow...who cares who sang which version, i like both

[MrPJQ68]

Love those horns man....

[jamirosmajicrocks]

i Have the idea that Black Sabbath's manager said "WE NEED A SINGLE!!!"

And they decided to do this one.

[psychill22]

@jamirosmajicrocks I like Sabbath's version better

[VinylHound60]

Controversial or not,Its the Great sound from a very versitile band that should be celebrated and enjoyed. I burned out my 8 track with these tunes. So many songs were banned from radio play in the 60s or the album art from stores.Such as Blind Faith first issue of a nude girl on cover,Brewer and Shipley One Toke Over The Line. The list goes on and on. I have 3 LPs of Crow. Thanks Sammy for the vintage flashback.

This is the version I heard on AM radio - with the brass. 'Time to Make a Turn" was also a radio hit in our area.

Excellent Song ! Very surprised to find it here. Saw them once and they were very good. Thanks 4 Posting :)

Have looked for this for ages! Couldn't even remember the group who did it. So glad you posted! Thanks.

Excellent video-presentation to a great top-40 song. It's odd that some people like what others dislike about the same music. Oh, well ... that's what makes life interesting.

[DeathMetalorgetjized]

@sammycoin Mind explaining the "wedlock" part? Never known what it meant

[fumetti]

Black Sabbath's version is nearly identical.

[tgtf72]

Moistened lips?

[LeloMigueis]

I am very happy to know that the original is so good. This only proves that the Sabbath, in the few covers that did was brilliant.

(sorry my poor english, I´m brazilian)

The brass was in the original ...at least it was in the version that I remember . I think I heard that it was Walter , James and Lee of Chicago . It sort of sounds like them ...........

[gravano2]

Great tune , great bass line - the brass sounds great to me

[doom696mented]

woman = evil

[darkwingala]

Sorry...but this is not the original version of this song....originally it didnt have brass...

[videostan]

@darkwingala I think it did....we just couldn't hear it on our AM transistor radios.

[The40thThief]

0:31 definitely evil. Disney is evil. Wicked song.

[SepticSlaughter]

Until till now i've only heard the black sabbath cover, honestly i still prefer sabbaths version, but i say this is pretty good

[jwmellott]

What was controversial?  Use of the phrase "evil woman"?

[sammycoin]

@jwmellott

The contraversy was for the time: multiple sex partners, baby out of wedlock, etc. Very indicative of the times. Now, it is the norm. Thanks for the comment.

[pictureisup1]

@sammycoin sadly it is that way

[Krangypoo]

@jwmellott well aren't most women evil?? They all want want want, right? But this is a classic song from a then small town band from Minneapolis.

Note to torrentANONYMOUScodc: I was never aware that there was a version without horns...

Though the original vinyl LP I once had - kept the horns on one speaker channel , with the rest of the instrumentation on the other speaker channel...

Actually, you can turn the right channel off on your speaker system (if ya got that as opposed to headphones) and the song will be horn-free...

In any case, this is one of my ALL-TIME UBER-MEGA-ULTRA RAVE-FAVES!...EVER!

Thanx fer this, m8..

[garebear1015]

i saw them live first time in 68 or 69 . did they open for janis joplin at mpls armory?

[torrentANONYMOUScodc]

too bad it's not atcually the original version :/ would love to hear this w/o the annoying brass arrangement

[JHallia]

Love the bassline on this song!

[viewingut]

Perfect!

[borntobewilder9]

Excellent song.

[LifeInBrunswick]

Thanks for posting this. The horn parts are awesome.
