Mose Allison Young Man's Blues Mose Allison Sings 1959

[bezzarguy]

I'm a big Who fan, but the definitive version of this song? Mose, baby.

[grevejp44]

missing the giant barrage of drums but other then that...

[FelipeQuevici]

Altough this one is good, The Who recorded the definitive version of this song.

[hooverhasit]

@FelipeQuevici

NOT..mose owns this and every other song that he has recorded that others emulate,

[abt7217tc]

the who kinda own this at IOW.

[juan13579run]

townshend is a really fan of the jazz music....and do a really good cover of this song

[EmptyGlass99]

Listen to Live at Leeds and Townshend says on the record that it's a Mose Allison cover (Townshend calls him a 'jazz sage' - to which Moon asks "What's that Pete? Is it a flavour of chicken?" - and he wrote this when he was "about 40")

[UncleJ4]

...and 50 years later, the lyrics still carry a powerful meaning.

[BulletFrenzy543]

Awesome song the who did a great cover and so did foo fighters

[gamoonbat]

ain't nothin or ain't got nothin is it?

[ugroseno]

I thought it was The Who's original.. I love their version.

After listening to this....wow, the original's is more entertaining... thanks for posting

[iswad420]

mose and his humor, a wonderful part of who he is,

[massmanute]

I believe this is the original, later covered by The Who and others.

[vik3nti0s]

@massmanute Who is my favourite band! but yes mose allison's version is the original! :)

[vik3nti0s]

@massmanute But if you also see carefully, he also sings the 'eyesight to the blind' witch is a song of the Who :) so i guess it goes like you stole from me- i steal from you!

[OrphanTrain1321]

@vik3nti0s

lolwut. "Eyesight to the Blind" is a blues standard, bro. Sonny Boy friggin' Williamson played it.

[vik3nti0s]

@OrphanTrain1321 Oh! i didnt know :/ but thanks anyway mate :)

[MrGb1965]

@vik3nti0s

I thought Sonny Boy Williamson sang it.

[eggsaz]

@massmanute the foo fighters cover is the best



[dustinbung]

@eggsaz The Foo's version mimics the Who's version (Live at Leeds), which is better, IMO. This is great though!

[juan13579run]

@eggsaz men,the who version is killer look live at the isle of woght version is just amazing

[abt7217tc]

@eggsaz ever hear of the who?

[PrimalStones]

@massmanute This was also the main insperation for Thw Who's, My Generation

[massmanute]

@PrimalStones I didn't know that this song also inspired My Generation. Interesting!
