Brilliant to hear that song stripped down. Great job by Phil Alvin and his thumb. That must have hurt! Thanks for posting that. Now if I could only find Billy Boy's version of Shake Your Hips on you tube. It is the meanest music on the planet.
I did my fourth BLUESCARTOON tribute to - guess who - BILLY BOY ARNOLD,BO DIDDLEY&marracas-player JEROME GREEN.I still got no infos from youtubers about the brothers of BILLY BOY& I like to add to know more abot JEROME GREEN,too.If you contact me I'll send you the infos about JEROME G. i found so far(some very interesting ones).
I hope some bluesfan's find the time to watch my clips(playlist BLUESCARTOONS) bye
I like this video. Phil Alvin is good. He takes the back seat and lets Billy Arnold shine. That is okay with me!
I recently found out AIN'T GOT YOU was done by JIMMY REED before Billy boy.
I made a tribute to Jimmy Reed. It is an animated short film (74 sec). I like you invite to watch it. Just click on my name.Comments&ratings will be welcomed.
BTW does anybody know what happened to Billy's brothers JEROME(BASS) and JULIO (HARMONICA)?
I first heard this song when Phil and the Blasters covered it, Phil definitely knows how to play this song right. His brother and him studied under some of the greats of the Blues, T-Bone Walker, Sonny Terry, and Big Joe Turner to name a few. Really great to hear him with Billy Boy giving this amazing tune the treatment it deserves!
Sorry cat I strongly disagree this is the real blues white or black this is the blues Billy would not destroy his song on the account of bad whiteboy playing. I know Phil and I know he is a bluesman who clearly understands his role in any old song he choose's to study which He plainly did on this classic. This is the greatest blues version since the original. Nuff said!!!!!
Listen to The Jives(duo) version,UK based guys on youtube,great groove.

The Red Devils do a killer version on KING KING records. Lester Butler tears it up on harp.

You are so benighted as to what is true talent. Phil Alvin is one the best modern, yet STILL traditional
style players.

You have no sense of pure, unadulterated, harmonica back style, guitar playing talent, whatsoever.
