I have been playing this song for 41 years. In the right hands it is spooky brilliant. Howlin' Wolf's version is still my favorite, but I gotta admit, this is superfine. I love the way you creep up on this masterpiece. Your restraint is what separates bluesmen from the wanking boys.
Some of the original tekst is missing: a spoonful of COCAINE. Another monkey but just as heavy on your back. Charey "Bird" Parker was "Dancing with mr Brownstone".
"The groove __way back in the pocket__ is everything!" Fred Below once said that making good music is just like the recipe for baking a cake, using a varying amount the mix of ingredients(for each song). Listening closely for, so as never to step on, subtle shifts of vocal inflection and blending the instruments up underneath, supporting the vocal instrument is the key: the voice delivers about 95% of what most of people in an audience are gonna' respond to.

Great work there, "Sherlock of the blues" ...
everybody knows that Willy wrote it. Howlin' Wolf is one of many that have recorded it.

This is ok.. but there is nothing like the original. Howlin Wolf!!

...sounds like a reason for no one performing any songs that Wolf recorded, but Willie Dixon does not agree.
