Battle of the Bands: Bonnie's Dew Wins

The Battle of The Morning Dew was tight coming down to the last vote. Tim Rose took a 4 to 2 lead but that lead was not safe. Bonnie Dobson wins 5-4.


Here is Bonnie performing the song more recently with Robert Plant...

Bonnie wrote the song. She signed an agreement with Tim Rose when he recorded the song. She was expecting bigger changes and the changes were minor. She never met Tim and apparently has questioned his credentials. However she does get the majority of the royalties.

Her other big song "I'm Your Woman"

"Light of Love"

I will be back with a new battle on November 1. Thank you for voting and visiting.

Battle of the Bands: Morning Dew Grudge Match

"Morning Dew" has been covered by many bands. I could easily pick from The Grateful Dead, Jeff Beck Group, Robert Plant and many more. I chose another route. Two singer songwriters have claimed writing the iconic song. So instead of the tried and true format of original then two contenders I will have a twist. Two songs, two "originals" and they are both contenders. 

Tim Rose

Bonnie Dobson

Vote in the comments! Simply let me know if you like Tim's version or Bonnie's version best. I will count up the votes and announce a winner soon.

This rounds song:

Who knows where this song originally claim. Most agree Billy Roberts penned the song so for a point a reference I will use his version.

So many versions to choose for in a battle of bands..

First Challenger

Seal is such an incredible vocalist and David Gilmour is a guitar great. Enjoy their version..

Second Challenger

The late great Roy Buchanan..

Both versions probably draw more from the Jimi Hendrix version than Billy Roberts or any of the earlier versions. Buchanan is perhaps a more undiscovered guitarist. I was going to use underrated guitarist but everyone I know who knows of him raves about him.

Anyway these are my picks for this competition. Vote in the comments!  Feel free to share your favorite versions as well since this song has been done once or twice!
