I learned something, today, Robert.
When I heard the first Pat Travers back in '78 (?) I was like "where did this unknown get such a bluesy song?".
It was like when George Thorogood burst on the scene in '82. "Where did all that come from?" I wondered. "Couldn't be some instant greatness."
Both cases of modern musicians covering and popularizing blues classics. And putting a rock flavor on them.
Me likey.

Tubes - What Do You Want From Life? 1975
Al Kooper, known for his work with Bob Dylan and Lynyrd Skynyrd, produced the album. In his memoir Backstage Passes and Backstabbing *******s, he explained that "What Do You Want From Life" is a parody of the TV game show The Price Is Right!. Wrote Kooper: "We spent the better part of an afternoon writing the script of possible prizes you could win, climaxing with 'a baby's arm holding an apple,' which some of you may recall as Lady Chatterley's description of her lover's 'package.' This survived censorship because not many DJs had read D. H. Lawrence at the time!"
