@medic357 saw alvin and his great band in 1968 at the rockpile, in toronto, their version of help me , stirred the soul, still does, hooked on the blues ever since, enjoy.
if you look at the logo you can read the word EAT in the middle, then from the bottom reading diagonally to the upper right its reads FAN; from the lower right diagonally to the uper left it reads EAT again
This is what happens when you have too much time on your hands....LOL
Spoonful... written by Willy Dixon for the Howlin' Wolf recorded by Cream, Ten Years After, Paul Butterfield, John Hammond, Wild Child Butler, Koko Taylor, Etta James, and Willy Dixon himself... the list goes on... and I can't get enough. The Paul Butterfield Blues Band version of it is superb...!
love this band, saw them live at the rockpile in toronto in 1969 , wonder if alvin lee still plays, he would kill at a small club, say the silver dollar,
love the studio versions and the live versions. Love Alvin Lee.

@ThomasDeLello you forget Q65, that's maybe not the best version, but really interesting

He plays and sings about HEROIN with so much feeling...yet I don't think Alvin was ever a junkie...

@makwabid69 this song is not about heroin

@makwabid69 The song isn't about heroin actually, and Lee was a speed junkie. When he quit he wrote about it in a great tune called hard monkeys
