[deadhardy]

this version sucks

[BuzCzar]

While I love Howlin' Wolf's original version, this is a great tribute to the blues by guys that loved the music.

[SumDoood]

Much too WHITE! Go and listen to Hubert Sumlin.

Immediately. And again. Then repeat.

Played this lp every night as going to sleep back in 1969. I'm a blues fanatic, but his is my fave version.

Wore this LP out back around 1965. It seemed every garage band back in the LBJ days had to try their hand at this tune, so there is no shortage of takes on this classic, but I rate this version as my fave. The Manfreds were true musicians and ahead of their time. One complaint about frontman Paul Jones; what were you thinking were you signed on to star in the movie "Priviledge"? That depressing flopperoo ended whatever hope you might have had on a career as movie star.......
