This is what I heard from my dad off of his "Golden Guinea Greats" albums that were from the early 60's.......... whatever way it comes, it's blinding. Just enjoy!!!
One of the greatest. A Texan band recorded in Texas but issued on Chess/Checker out of Chicago. The Chess brothers weren't saintly but they had great taste in music!
This was one of the best tracks on one of the best blues albums ever: The Blues, Volume One, on Chess and (in the U.K.) Pye International. When I acquired it in the mid-60s I played it constantly and I ain't lyin'.
Thanks again to TheBluesfan12 - yes, I have this on CD many times over but it's still good to hear it again!
Elvis does it in his own way. Both are fine. I am a huge Elvis fan and a huge blues lover as well. The two things can easily go together. I can't understand the dispute about Elvis having "stolen" black music !!!
@lucieppe all this talk about Elvis stealing black ppls music is pure and simple racism. Im white and love the blues waht does that make me then? yes I know that you do;) and a lot of black folks agree with me so who cares what they think eh?
Furthermore, I hate to burst your bubble MAGICO240, but Elvis re-recorded this tune because he loved and respected its original composer. He also had complete love and respect in mind when he took the time to translate it to a different time period. By your comment, you clearly do not have that same love and respect for the original. Goodness, what would Elvis think of you and your 'evaluation'?
You poor souls. -.- Those of you who think the "man needs to sing with the music" or think any part of the song is in any way sub-standard really need some help. You've all been brainwashed by Pro Tools and commercialized Muzak. First of all, if you had any idea what music was like back in the days this was recorded, you would regard this as the masterpiece that it is. Secondly, if you had any idea what it's like to put feeling into music, you would understand his vocal phrasing.
....some of these comments show how limited musical experience cause listeners to miss out on the masters that created the style. Lowell Fulson is a creator and progenitor of the music, whom Elvis studied , glad I like every style , but then," I love Music, any kind'a music" to quote the Ojays
