Sorry, but those overdubs by The Picks on "Well All Right" are terrible! The song should have been left alone as it was originally released - simple and unadorned, an example of acoustic rock. I know The Picks appeared on the early singles like "Oh Boy", but I do dislike those oohs and aahs. BH may well have been the first performer whose posthumous work was milked almost dry. Producer Norman Petty issued a load of demo tapes, overdubbed with a rock band (The Fireballs, and pretty good, I must admit), but also a load of tape splicing and overdubbing to stretch some of the songs out. Most of the unadorned originals do sound pretty good, such as the version of PSGM, posted above.
