Awesome album......Love early Buddy, 70's and 80"s as well....he finally started to play what he wanted but still not much recognition.....Give Clapton kudos for showing Buddy to the world and helping him out. How can people hate Clapton when all he's ever done is respect his Masters.....He knew they deserved all the credit so he helped as many as he could with his influence !! I saw him and Junior in the 80's and the smokey bar only had 10 -15 people."Sad" & rough times for those 2..
Recorded March 2, 1960 at Chess Studios, Chicago, along with Jarrett Gibson and Bob Neely (tenor sax) ; Donald Hankins (baritone sax); Little Brother Montgomery (piano); Jack Myers (bass); Fred Below (drums).
Originally released as Chess single 1753, but failed to chart in 1960.
Buddy's guitar intro originally edited out of that pressing.
Buddy at his best! Never been better vocally. He borrows the sliding vocal technique--yeaYess!--at the beginning of each phrase from BB King, one of his idols, and gives it an intensity even BB doesn't have. The horns add a lot and blend beautifully with the guitar. The personification of the blues as a person or spirit stalking him, at home, and while he's walking thru the woods, is one of the more powerful images in the blues genre.
