Big Maceo Merriweather - Worried Life Blues

[choppersinc13]

Man....  know what I mean?

[bluesborn]

You have to hand to E.C the man has impeccable taste.

[daichen1980]

This song gives me chills.. Amazing piece.

[Chris180Z]

This song is said to be the most covered blues song of all time. 11,000 views, I am disappointed! :( Good song.

[boefie89]

great track indeed -pity nobody mentioned the sadly wailing guitar of Tampa Red adding definitive blues-flavour, MichaelStikkelorum

[callipposhots]

what youtube needs is Leroy Carr's Alabama Women Blues up here. Just as good as this. That was him at his peak, like Maceo is here.

[jay1beaux]

A masterpiece

[callippo99]

while we're here, there's not enough Leroy Carr on youtube. Leroy could sing, but not as good as Maceo, who turned up a decade later. And they could both play brilliant piano of course.

@callippo99 I uploaded one if that helps...

as for this guy's voice, it's akin to that of robert petway and tommy mcclennan, but he's not conccerning himself with hollering like those two did... he knows he can be heard allright!

[callippo99]

what a beautiful voice he had. Maceo was totally top drawer.

[stankyleg420]

@callippo99 fuck yea. agreed.

[knuteboy36]

This is truly a badass track.

Just discovered this and I love it!

[dairyproducts]

My favorite version is the one done by the boys of the Blues Magoos off psychedelic lollipop, so much soul in that one he just screams it out

[jpiturri]

Thanks for the song!

[stankyleg420]

[theyoungharris]

Have you heard The Animals' terrific version?

[MrAltheon]

Oh lordy lord, oh lordy lord it hurts me so bad for us to part but someday baby I ain't gonna worry my life anymore So many nights, since you've been gone I've been worried, grieving my life alone yeah... So many days, since you went away I've had to worry both night and day but someday... You're on my mind every place I go how much I love you, nobody knows yeah... So that's my story and this is all I've got to say to you bye bye baby, I don't care what you do Cause...
