TALKIN' SILVER CLOUD BLUES - cover version by JD Laudermilk. -not recorded by GL. About Ronnie Hawkins and when he walked into a car dealership in TOronto and bought a Rolls with cash..THIS SINGLE is from May of 1966 and had John singing his version of the Gordon Lightfoot tune "Silver Cloud Talkin' Blues." This is a very cool little talkin' blues that Gordon never recorded, and it seems that Loudermilk is the only one that ever put it to wax.
Onstage Gordon sometimes will ask if anyone remembers Mose Allison..He recorded one of JDLaudermilks tunes... check out wikipedia and see the hit tunes this fellow wrote for other artists:
