MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW Sept 22, 2024 #287

* With this artist's road band laying the groundwork and with production responsibilities reverted primarily into her own hands, she came up with a fantastic album in 2002.  Guest appearance by John Cleary and his piano chops were an absolute bonus.  Add in some Steve Cropper guitar licks to give us some Memphis flavoring and we have excellence.  Name the artist who put it all together...
 
*In the first edition of this British band, this great artist was a smart streetwise rock & roller with just enough maturity to make something of what life had shown her by her mid-twenties...and she had the rough-and-tumble band to match for her 1st two albums.  The second version of the group cast her as an unwitting but unbowed survivor, determined to move on and keep rocking despite the losses the band had to endure.  Name the artist and the band...
 
*This band was basically a one-hit wonder released this hit in 1970.  They were a Latin-tinged pop/rock band formed in Tampa, Fl in 1966.  Their song made the Top Ten on the charts and sold a million copies in 1970.  The band never ran forward after the success of the track, but we'll play an updated version that they cut in 2017...Amazing.  Name the band and extra credit for the name of the song...
 
*This great band's first album in 1973 just might be considered a fusion of Lynyrd Skynyrd-style Southern.trucker rock and ZZ Top's anthemic arena rock  The group involved brothers as they dished out a methodical mix of plodding hard dirges.  Name the band...
