Listen in this week to a textbook discussion of the process of garagification: the transmogrification of Fred Neil's "That's The Bag I'm In" from a corny folk ditty to a titanic garage tune. Casey Anderson gets us started with the first released version of the song , way back in 1962 (5:18). A very Greenwich Village rendition, from the era represented by "Inside Llewyn Davis." In 1965, the mysteriously and awfully-named Dalek/Engam: The Blackstones rearranged the song and made it ROCK, even giving it some Beatles-esque chords and "Woo"'s! : a crucial step in the alchemy of garagification (56:37) In '66, Billy Lee Riley crosses the song with "Hallelujah I Love Her So" and reveals a strange connection between the two songs (1:19:47). Oh, and there's bongos! Fourthly, The Fabs finalized the process in September of the same year, adding a cool bass riff, FUZZ, and ORGAN (1:36:08). If you know it, you love it, and if you haven't heard it, you gotta!
