Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now)

Dave got the idea to cover this Jack Yellen/Milton Ager song for the Diver Down album after hearing it broadcast from a Kentucky radio station one day while listening to his Walkman.

Eddie used a Gibson hollow-body on this track, and Mike used a large acoustic bass, similar to those used by Mariachi bands. Alex played drums with brushes, a jazz standard.

Jan Van Halen played clarinet on this track.
