You want me to throw this thing into the tub when "WHITE RABBIT" peaks. Is that it?

For good reason, White Rabbit is one of those songs that makes me feel like I am on drugs, and marching through hell. It's a similar feeling I get when listening to Black Sabbath's "Black Sabbath".

That being said, it is a song written and recorded by Grace Slick sometime in the 60's, but the version that most of us are familiar with was Grace's version with Jefferson Airplane.

A co-worker of mine brought in a George Benson album for me last week. As he hasn't led me wrong as of yet, so I put the disc in expecting the best, and got way more. So this of course sent me on a mission to find more and more of Benson's material.

I found this (gasp!) online, (don't judge...) and had to share it with the rest of you. It has a fantastic rendition of white rabbit, rejecting Jefferson Airplanes quick and solid 2:32 mins of acidy rock for a more smooth/jazzy/jammy 6:58 mins of goodness.

Dont get me wrong, I love both versions, but this one stood out a bit more. Im still debating if I like Grace Slicks version (not the J/A version) more than this or not.
