Baby please don't go
Finally a song of my favourite band AC/DC. It is really hard to find a cover version, because AC/DC itself didn't cover many songs and also nearly noone covered songs by this great Australian band. At least he didn't get successful with a cover version.
Here now a song by AC/DC from their early years, "Baby please don't go". Actually it is a classic blues song by Big Joe Williams written in 1944. Over the years it was covered several times, also by Them with their band leader Van Morrison. And the version by AC/DC is quite similar to the version by Them, but of course a little bit harder. A really nice Rock 'n' Roll Song. Anyway the early compositions by AC/DC are worth a closer look. The guitar from Angus Young sounds a liitle bit clearer. Everything is more affected by the blues.
I cannot say so much about Big Joe Johnson. But perhaps somebody else knows more about Joe Johnson and his song and likes to add his knowledge here.

Van Morrisons cover of this song is better than AC/DCs! Saying AC/DCs is better than Big Joe Williams' is like saying Metallicas 'Turn the Page' is better than Bob Segers.

ALOT beats AC/DC I like them one of my favorite bands but they have no bussiness covering this song. I do however enjoy John Lee Hookers, Aerosmiths, Muddy Waters and Thin Lizzys

Add Muddy Waters to the mix and you'd have a real winner!

Love AC/DC, but the original is very good too.

Both Great songs, Big Joe's is Pure Black Blues and AC/DC is Rock & Roll Blues.
AC/DC with Bon Scott is undoubtly the best Rock & Band Ever!!!

I have to say that Big Joe's wasn't the best version of this song I've heard, but I've definitely don't like AC/DC's version either, being a big blues fan. I'd recommend a Muddy Water's or John Lee Hooker version much more than this atrocity.
