[schlooterhead]

He plays it in many keys. I have a live recording of a show I saw and recorded and he's in Gb, probably because he didn't use a tuner : )

[mulisha6]

This is not it. He plays it in Open Ab. Close, but no Cigar (box) : P

I can't see any comparison with RL Burnside's song ! Can you explain it ? Have you already heard the original song ?

[schlooterhead]

@binguhj there are many versions of all of RL's songs over the past 40 years. I've heard all his recorded versions. He changed most of his songs over the years like i change my own songs. You may not be familiar with this version. Keep in mind that blues musicians often re-interpret songs and play them 'their way' unlike many folk or country artists who tend to mimic note for note. I MUCH prefer to reinterpret just as RL reinterpreted his own songs

[schlooterhead]

@schlooterhead in addition, i believe (you may not) that people are put on this earth (musicians, artists, politicians - ANYONE) to give back to the world and its inhabitants and not simply take. I see no compelling reason whatsoever to simply regurgitate what has already been done. In fact I find it distasteful, boring and borderline disgusting. But, that's just my opinion : )
