Speaking of Big Mama Thornton, Janis Joplin over her on Ball & Chain.

I'll take Big Mama's version over both of those. Especially the Elvis one.

What album was that on? I probably have it, but no memory of it.

It's not on any album yet. It was recorded for the film "High-Rise" but so far there's no physical or digital soundtrack featuring that song, just an original score soundtrack. Hopefully it will appear on album soon- either a soundtrack or better yet, a new Portishead release.

A new Portishead album would be good. I didn't like BG's solo, or the live album; otherwise I am catalog including maxi singles (albums unto themselves!)
