the birthday song is a "standard". sleepy john estes wrote this song, and now (like every great bluesman) his music is continually covered without crediting him. let's respect the man and acknowledge this as a great blues song by a great musician... not as a "great blues standard".
He wrote this song after the car bringing him to play at a concert, from the farm he was sentenced to live at, drove off a bridge.
