Bethany & Rufus - If I Had My Way (Spirit of Woodstock)

Excerpt from Peter, Bethany & Rufus: The Spirit of Woodstock (2008). Bethany Yarrow and Rufus Cappadocia play with "Bonga" Jean Baptiste (percussion) and Sheila Anozier (dance). Throw down dancing to a Rev. Gary Davis classic. www.bethanyandrufus.com

"'If I Had My Way' relies more on the influence of roots music than some of Bethany & Rufus other songs, giving it a faster, dance-tinged vibe. Its an interesting retelling of the age-old Samson and Delilah story, bringing personal choice into the saga. The beat of the song speeds up to effectively match and emphasize the pace of the story. culminating in grooving drum solos, interspersed with Bethanys smooth voice." - MusicDishTV

Nice work by Rufus and Jean Baptiste. They maintain and steady and infectious groove!

Bethany resembles a demented Nigella Lawson, but this song is strangely hypnotic.  Far out, man!
