"Spinning Wheel" cover .... 2022 Hanukkah Sessions ... Grohl, Kirstin, Apatow
Dave Grohl covered Blood, Sweat & Tears‘ 1968 hit “Spinning Wheel” together with Greg Kurstin and director Judd Apatow.
This is the first installment of Grohl and Kurstin for their 2022 Hanukkah Sessions series, a project that they started three years ago as their way of paying tribute to Jewish musicians. Grohl explained:
“This project, which initially began as a silly idea, grew to represent something much more important to me.
“It showed me that the simple gesture of spreading love and joy and happiness goes a long way.”
Meanwhile, the Blood, Sweat & Tears’ co-founder Steve Katz first gained fame as guitarist for the all-Jewish band the Blues Project. He recalled:
“We never got together because we were all Jewish. I guess it happened because there were so many Jewish musicians in New York.”
On the other hand, keyboardist Al Kooper left the Blues Project to form Blood, Sweat & Tears. Looking back, the band’s self-titled 1968 sophomore album, became a hit. It sold over four million copies and yielded three Top 5 singles including the Clayton-Thomas penned track, “Spinning Wheel.”
