Some of the bootlegged cuts including Mountain, were patched up in the studio for the Warner release. It was really what I expected. Mountain was incredible any way you look at it. Leslie West still plays great. The bootlegs are pretty rough sounding but very cool. I plan on going to Bethel in the spring. I have friends in the Pocono Mountains and it's only forty miles from there.

I don't see any connection between Cobain and the Blues. I liked some Grunge stuff, but, and not to start a Grunge war or any kind of argument about Cobain I thought he was pretty overrated. Jack White, I can hear some Blues in some lyrics and music. But then again White is inspired by the blues and it shows where Cobain was trying to start his own genre.

White is much more blues influenced--"Blind Willie McTell and Son House on Steroids with an injection of Grungey Punk" is how one friend of mine aptly described him. White is equally influence by punk and rock and hard-core country, too (remember, he approached Loretta Lynn to get her to record "Van Lear Rose," not the other way around).

...and I agree that Cobain was much more his "own thing" than many people before or after him...

...but when I listen to Cobain's cover of "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" (or "In The Pines" or whatever you call that song) I hear the same lonely, haunting qualities of Leadbelly, House and Robert Johnson. He did that with a few other songs as well...again, he was much more of a genre creator than a disciple of any individual player or singular style, but there are "shades of blue" here and there in his songs.

...and I don't want to create a grunge war, either (grunge neither delights nor repulses me; there are songs and artists from the genre I like and many I dislike as well)...but I can't call someone who typifies and dang near created a genre as "overrated," unless I just hate that genre.

Now that, we can agree on. Jack is pretty much the main portal to the delta blues for people my age. I listen to any of his projects on a daily basis, heck The White Stripes are probably my favourite band. He's probably one of the only people these days that can make 12 bar blues sound not so boring.
Cobains musical direction sounded alot like it was verging with the old blues. But let's not get into that....
