I don’t generally enjoy fast for fast’s sake playing but Jackie King is a soulful shredder. I can’t really listen to Eric Clapton aside from Wheels of Fire and Blind Faith but I liked that guy’s playing alright in the video you linked.
That Pessimistic Lines cover rules.
Here’s another girl rocking cool covers in her bedroom:
I’d never heard of either band; that Trees version is great.
Here’s a cool cover song in which Jackie King tears it up on Bread’s "If" and Nat King Cole’s "There Will Never Be Another You".
Jackie King played guitar in Shades of Joy with Howard Wales and Martin Fierro and played on the soundtrack for El Topo. I think King still tours with Willie Nelson and band. He’s a pretty amazing guitar player and Willie Nelson’s band is awesome; the audience reaction at the end is great:

Motorpsycho also did a good cover of Jefferson Airplane’s The House at Pooneil Corners. I couldn’t find the Motorpsycho cover on youtube but here’s a live Airplane version:

My favorite version of California Dreamin’ is Eddie Hazel’s:

2Pac’s California Love sounds like it.
Essgee–thanks for the Flying Saucer Attack clip. That was amazing; beautiful, unrecognizable.
Dave Cousins’ voice is indeed great; Strawbs were underrated.
Lately I’m thrilled by Faun Fables’ Housekeeper. The bass clarinet is the chit, as is the violin; Nil’s bass playing on this is awesome, the harmonies sweetly creepy:

I’d never heard of Hank Dogs but that video was great, as were the Bareback tracks I listened to online. Her voice is pretty Denny-y, and pretty in general; interesting band. Thanks.
I don’t have The Strawbs’ All Our Own Work but do have and like their greatest hits album and Grave New World, which is brilliant and beautiful (if you don’t already have it, get the vinyl for the triple gatefold sleeve, liner book, great artwork).

You’re welcome. I didn’t know of Birthday Blues, but what I heard on youtube just now was great. It’s hard to keep up, they all put out so much good music.
The other day a friend sent me a link to the new, enormous Sandy Denny box set release–19 cds, lyric book, rare photos, etc. It looks incredible but I currently lack the spare $300 and shelf space. The small home is the enemy of completism.
Have you ever listened to Alasdair Roberts? If you like Pentangle and Sonic Youth you’d enjoy his playing. Here’s a clip of him doing Lyke Wake Dirge, which The Pentangle also recorded:

I was wrong, it’s not Sweet Child that’s not on cd–I was thinking of Solomon’s Seal, which for a long time was on vinyl only, but now *is* out on cd.
It seems like all their albums are now easily available/orderable online. I don’t see much Pentangle at local record stores but have found Basket of Light, Solomon’s Seal, Sweet Child, Cruel Sister, and Reflection on vinyl; don’t own any Pentangle cds and don’t have their first album. Pentangle are awesome, a little formal, stiff, but all such incredible musicians, singers, and interpreters of folk music.
Any of the John Renbourn and Bert Jansch solo albums I’ve heard are worth listening to–I like John Renbourn’s Faro Annie a lot. Some of the electric guitar tunes on Faro Annie remind me of MV & EE, trippy folk blues. The John Renbourn Group’s A Maid in Bedlam (w/ Jacqui McShee) is great, nice versions of Black Waterside and Reynardine. The Lady and the Unicorn is pretty alright. Live in America is good, though I like his ’70s albums best.
Bert Jansch also does Reynardine and Black Waterside on his solo lps . Rosemary Lane, Moonshine, and Jack Orion are superb. When the Circus Comes to Town is also very good.

The Pentangle were jazzy; Danny Thompson’s playing sounds to me a bit like Mingus’, and I guess they used to play Haitian Fight Song. I’ve seen him play a bunch with Richard Thompson and he’s always awesome.
(for more Take Five resonances, check out Quicksilver Messenger Service’s Gold and Silver).
Re. Pentangle lps, Sweet Child is hard to find and I don’t think it was ever released on cd– get Reflection and Solomon’s Seal if you can–they’re great.
Bert Jansch was playing a bunch of shows with Pegi Young last summer but I was on the other coast and missed them. Renbourn and Jansch were big influences on Jimi Page, among others. Bert Jansch’s recent album Black Swan is pretty incredible; Beth Orton sings on a couple of songs, ‘s nice.

Also too much–the Hillage riffs that sound like Shemp Howard (esp. around 7:26):
