    		 Who remembers the "Yank" Rachell blues standard "She Caught the Katy" as performed by Taj Mahal in 1968, and then was made famous in 1979 by the Blues Brothers Band?

    And would any of you have envisioned the Rolling Stones (because of their penchant for old American blues songs) as covering this hit about some woman catching the Missouri/Kansas/Texas train, seeing as they'd performed with Taj Mahal on his song "Corinna" in 1997? Mahal did appear in the Stones' TV special, The Rolling Stones Rock 'N Roll Circus (alongside such other performers as Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger's ex-wife Marianne Faithfull, Mitch Mitchell, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, the Who and Jethro Tull), which was filmed in 1968, but not released until 1996.
