Summer Song Challenge, Day 43: Bob

Prompt: "A song that's so much better than 'Bohemian Rhapsody' that it honestly makes 'Bohemian Rhapsody' sound like the Mister Softee jingle"

Selected by Bob


"Gimme Shelter"
Paul Brady & the Forest Rangers
Songs of Anarchy: Music from Sons of Anarchy Seasons 1–4, 2011

I know I know. How can I pick a remake of the song and not the original Rolling Stones version. While I do like the original, I like the folky kind of like backwoods country one better, which is weird, because I normally do not like country. At all. The song was in the show Sons of Anarchy, and I can picture the exact scene. Pretty wild scene actually. Not going to go into detail about it. If you want to see it, watch the show. But I really just enjoy the smokey kind of raspy voice of the singer also. I don't know if it's better than "Bohemian Rhapsody," but I enjoy it more. 

PS. I don't really like "Bohemian Rhapsody."
