@TheEndKing It wasn't his idea, it was his producer. He ruined a bunch of good Townes albums by over producing them. The producer also didn't release one album for 20 years and another that never went past a rough cut, which had some of his best songs on it. Check out the documentary on Hulu called "Be here to love me." Townes really got deal a bad hand...
Was written by Diddley, as Mark said, and later, in the 60ies, it was made famous by Quicksilver Messenger Service who put out a lengthy jam version on an album named Happy Trails. Check it out, it's awesome! Some versions by QMS are on YT.
First time I've heard it, I like it.
