@yoljarvi

Hi .....I did much the same and without John Mayall so many of us would not have heard the Blues........

[van440]

[buffalobilly]

@van440 The Green God That's Peter

[reshsamech]

I had this album when it came out. He introduced me to Peter Green and Eric Clapton.

[originalfunkyfry]

[yungsu100]

FUCK WHO SAID MAYALL LIKE TO PUT SPOTLIGHT ON HIMSELF JUST BECAUSE IT SHOWED JOHN WITH GUITAR IS A CHILD WHO IS WHAT HE CLAIMS MAYALL TO BE YOUR A FUCKED UP PIECE A FUCK WHO KNOWS NOT A THING ABOUT JOHN OR HIS BIGGEST IDOL J.B. LENOIR . YOU NEED TO NOT LISTEN TO MANS MUSIC BLUES YOU BELONG WITH TEENY BOPPERS FUCKYOU

[7734Duke]

"It Hurts Me Too" is based on "Things 'Bout Comin' My Way", recorded by Tampa Red in 1931 (OKeh 1637)

[MrDaemonB]

@7734Duke I have Tampa Red on the Bluebird label "when things go wrong" 1930

[edejan]

@MrDaemonB Why not post it? I think all us blues lovers would die to hear it.

[ok4450]

As far as I know Mayall does play guitar even if not known for it as the Wiki pic shows.

Leon Russell is known for vocals/piano but the guy also plays trumpet and a mean lead guitar when he wants to do so.

This is great stuff. I don't know how anyone could sit through American Idol after listening to this tune.

[tlynch1218]

@ok4450 another leon aficionado. this is a great version. just listened to foghat who blew it out too. i love elmore james and the influence he had on everyone who followed him.

[SaxolinMuzz]

My first blues cover in the sixties, I was a thirteen year old guitarist. It's still a great song. These days my blues is filled with life's lessons. I really love this song !!!

[uradragon]

thanks for posting. takes me back and it feels so good.

[Islwynpaul]

Nice to see this as a single. I had it on the Looking Back album. Great memories of a band I grew up with Clapton, Green Taylor all producing some of their best stuff with Mayall. When the blues guitar was king and young people understood the blues. Nice Thorens TT too. Respect.

[vontunzelmann]

Thank you so much for posting this track. Pity your slide show doesn't feature Peter Green who made this track possible.

John Mayall never was a "Guitarist" but hired some of the best. CLAPTON, GREEN, TAYLOR. None stayed with him.. They all had their own paths to follow.

John Mayall was a band leader who hired the best muso's around but like the spotlight for himself. When I watched this slideshow with the pic of him on guitar I felt it was a mis-representation.. Sorry, just my opinion

[vontunzelmann]

Pure Peter Green Guitar her folks. I know the record well. Followed the history of "The Bluesbreakers" closely at this time.

John Mayall always had great lineups. Saw him with Freddie Robinson on lead In Dunedin NZ mid 1970's

[JOCA208]

What a great man Mr John Mayall back to the 60 it was mine brother favorite R.I.P. Woud love you.

[LiahGomes1]

I love this music,,,,,,is wonderful......

[roussos87]

epic intro. thumbs up bro.

p.s. thanks for the upload.....

[marsviking]

this is great blues but without the vibrant guitar work it wd be moribund

[MysteryHunterz]

Legendary

[glennfryenpie]

dude your vinyl version sounds SO much better that the version i downloaded from itunes.

[kimbodious]

nice, but not a patch on the rockin version by Hound Dog Taylor, love the dawg!

[nyg1954]

best cover of this tune.green was best british blues guitarist.

[abombinreverse]

if you dont know John Mayall, you DONT know British Blues! period!

[buchananstreet]

nothing compared to elmore james, nothing

[fleetwoodmac1982]

@buchananstreet

thanks for your decent replying and showing your valuable opinion! however, i think you should have clicked 'reply' of other ones.

what i posted here only concerns about the backdrop information of this recording. i have never made any comparison between great Elmore James, Peter Green in here, and Eric Clapton, who already left this band when this recording was made.

[deathlikesilence710]

yeah listen to the grateful deads version with pig on vocals

nothing better...IMHO

[fleetwoodmac1982]

@magnum9987

the singer here is John Mayall and the guitar is played by Peter Green, who formed Fleetwood Mac with Mic Fleetwood (d) and John McVie (b), both of them are also featured in this recording, cheers.

[buchananstreet]

but I agree, its better than most of the other covers, even the guitar is quite good. but NO ONE EVER will reach the thrilling, isisating intensity of ELMORE who was the greatest blues singer of all times, no bb king, no howlin wolf, no albert collins, muddy waters, no jb lenoir of lee hooker comes close. in fact, sometimes I believe ELMORE JAMES WAS NOT ONLY THE BEST - BUT THE ONLY REAL BLUES SINGER

[magnum9987]

I honestly think clapton plays and sings this song best. He has a real blues man approach to playing and singing this

[klotzstang]

Clapton was in this group.

[magnum9987]

@klotzstang He left for cream before this

[marsviking]

i don't think we can really compare blues singers--it's a matter of stylistics and taste--tho we can pick out obvious losers in the blues genre (ever hear ray charles trying to sing the blues?)

i like a funkier brassier style of blues, like Joanne Shaw Taylor--she can be very gritty but still has a melodic sweet voice

[marsviking]

get your ears out of the compressed bales of straw--clampon does great blues guitar but he sings like a white boy imitating a white boy who can sing blues a little

[THCisbody]

grateful dead do this sickkkkkk thisis awesome too though.

[EdTracey347]

I agree with 98JoJo - perhaps the best version (apart from Elmore James, himself).

[utahaztec]

I love this cover. My interest in the Blues came from listening to this band back when I was a kid.

[YoGroucho]

Mis comienzos en el blues. Posiblemente la mejor versión del Origianl de Elmore James.

Ohh mi dios hace 40años Peter Green el mas grande de todos los tiempos. Nadie ha tenido el alma ni el feeling para poner las notas justas y en su espàcio como Green

[rockyracune]

I started listening to this song way back in 1967. Great version! I still love it.

[7734Duke]

@rockyracune Several versions of "It Hurts Me Too" were recorded in the 1940s and 1950s, inclding those by Stick McGhee and Big Bill Broonzy. When Elmore James recorded it in 1957 (Chief 7004

[98JOJO]

This probably one of the best covers of the great Elmore James classic!

[MrVertigo1965]

@98JOJO Karen Dalton made a wonderful version.

You can check it on youtube.

[7734Duke]

@98JOJO TAMPA RED I believe did it first

its on you tube

[Kynatics]

@98JOJO Yessir! I like this just about the same as S.R.V.'s cover of "The Sky is Crying"

[CARLOSMORA71]

@98JOJO correcto........

[vidpop]

This is one of my favourite records. Most of them are Bluesbreaker cuts. Still sounds fresh and vibrant.

[skeptyky]

FAN DE JOHN 100% LE MEILLEUR BLUESMAN

BLANC AVEC PETER GREEN ET CLAPTON

REBEL BLUES 68TARD !! jeunes circulez rien a voir !!

[rockyracune]

This song reminds me of good times. John Mayall made some great music.

[snotmale]

long live Vinyl!!

[guitarandharp]

I agree with your opinion of vinyl and I have this 45. However, this track and its 'A' side, 'Double Trouble' were both reissued IN MONO, AT LONG LAST on the most recent reissue of John Mayall's 'Crusade' album, in 2007 I think.

I'd call these tracks essential.

Best wishes to all fans of Peter Green and Duster Bennett - the real blues Brothers!

[Keijz74]

Wonderful. And a beautiful Thorens too.

[mi1964amigo]

John Mayall - the absolutely undisputed Daddy of British blues. Long may he live.

[RosaLichtenstein01]

Great playing by Peter Green!

Thanks for posting.

[mooseontheloose]

Re tags: Pretty sure it's Peter Green on guitar - not Eric :o)
