This all started with the new Steve Miller Band cover of Snatch It Back and Hold It from his most recent album of blues songs, "Let Your Hair Down". But I could hardly leave out the Junior Wells original or the Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears version, now could I? And in searching for those I found a few more, namely Chain, Gov't Mule (with a live version of great energy and terrible sound quality), and Lawrence Fritts and his instrumental version Snatch It Back and Hold It in G.
But I discovered that Albert Collins had a great tune called Snatchin' It Back, itself a cover of Clarence Collins. Naturally I had to add both. Then I remembered the Southern Culture on the Skids has a spacey surf rock instrumental called Snatch It Back so on the list it went. To round the list out to a full ten I found the rockabilly retro sound of Mars Attacks with Snatch It 'n' Grab It because, really, nine just isn't enough.
