hello mr hopkins. i talked with SRV last night and he told me y'all are playing all day long, and as for the rest of the greatest players they just wait their turn.
@faz432 oh but you see i think he got confounded and thought that you put the banner on purpose to sell us stuff cuz he didn't notice every video has one
43 years ago,as a french youngster,I bought my first blues record in a market place in Toulon,south of France,it was him,this tune was in the record!!I listened to death.Since then,my heart never stopped bleeding for the blues,thank you Lightnin,Son House,Robert,Muddy,BB,Albert,Sonny Boy,Little Walter,Freddy,John Lee,Jimi and all the people who gave us so much not only to listen but to think about too...
Thanks for this incredible moment in my life,wow I love the beat, the smooth groove.!!Tickles all the way done...........................!!!! earl maloney
He has the strangest way of soloing. It's like he just keeps coming up with ideas and changing his mind. And making mistakes and covering them up. And i don't even know... I can't tell if i love it or hate it.
This would have to be the epitome of blues songs by possibly one of the finest musicians of the twentieth century. Also love Gin Bottle Blues.Thanks to Youtube and People like faz432 I have been able to learn of this music.
I think so although back then I think everyone just sang each others songs. There is another more well know blues song by the same title that was sung by Freddie King are you thinking of that?
"....dont think cuz ya 'purty you can get any man in town..." Sweet Sam always told the truth. Thank you for sharing this with the world "Jenny"

@faz432 Not Lightning but check this awesome Freddy King performance from 1973.
Great upload BTW. Many thanks.
