I used to have a live recording of this song on some cheap blues collection CD. It started with a monologue "i woke up early one morning, saw my little sister out in the backyard, shaking her thing nd carrying on....getting the neighbors all excited....."
If anybody happens to have that version, please give me a ping.
i was really looking hard to find a lost recording of a song similar to this called "Tenderloin"...I cant remember the artist...any leads?....about he same time of recording i believe...i cant find it anywhere...i have been looking for it for years..its mostly piano with a few sax leads...very jazzy sounding yet R&B rhythm
Tradition and reinterpretation is a huge part of the Blues. I knew the original first, but it takes nothing away from SRV's version for me. I didn't discover SRV until about two years before he died, which in some ways made it that much more devastating for me. Ballard died fairly recently, I think about five years ago, and I was quite disgusted with the lack of fanfare from the media; He was a tremendously important piece of the foundation of rock and roll. Thanks for this!
@ijitdunn, Hank Ballard was definitely important . He had 7 top 40 hits not that that's everything still its 7 more than SRV had . He introduced the Twist which was a major craze...& I wonder how Joey Dee came up with the name the Starlighters . I knew this group first too but you say you knew this song before it was covered. That is cool. Please can you tell me what old guitar solo from this genre did SRV use for the intro to Pride & Joy? I heard it on radio but didn't catch the title. Help?
@Geepsterr Thanks for defending my point. I would have responded like you, but didn't want to seem contentious over a matter of opinion. As far as The Pride and joy question, I'll ask around for you; Among my acquaintances from my days as a roaming freelance Guitarist, some one might know.
Wow..I always thought that the axe work on this song was SRV's stuff, but it's lick for lick this cat..thanks for the education !!! I'll look into Cal Green, what a treat, thanks to the provider. No disrespect, SRV stretches it out and is a genius, but this is the source for this piece.
Stevie Recognize The Best Music Ever To Be Created, That Iz Why He had his extraordinary At His Music.....along with double trouble Chris Layton & Tommy Shannon
i'm sure i'm right hank recored this before stevie was born !!! lol i knew both hank and stevie . stevie lived here in austin texas SHARED THE STAGE WITH HIM A LOT UP AT ANTONIES NIGHT CLUB
Yea me neither. Almost all of SRV's songs are covers actually...not uncommon at all though for more modern blues artists to cover old blues & R&b songs

Even though Chubby Checker had by far the biggest hit with the Twist, he wrote the
song- did'nt he make a mint off the royalties?

@Geepsterr Not that much as SRV, and please, having more so called "hits" on some list means nothing.

If there was ever someone vastly underrated
in Rock&Roll it was Hank Ballard. I saw him
on "Jocko's Rocketship" on Ch13 in NYC back
in the late 50's.

Actuall, it was somewhere in the middle, just as much as he did covers he also did his own songs as well.
