@DarkeningSkies1 david bowie does have a great one also of this song.But 99% percent of blues songs you hear old or new come from the cotton feilds of blacks.
@flychism ... Or the sidewalks of Chicago, the streets of New York City, the bayous of Louisiana... trust me, I know the blues. It is the origins of most of the popular music in the U.S., actually. Certainly field calls and work songs were an important component, and one of the first, but let us not forget Congo Square and the influence of African Folk Music as well. But, yeah, my mentioning being familiar with the Bowie version (1965) certainly wasn't a claim for its greatness. It was OK.

Funnily (and sadly) I only knew this from the old David Bowie cover. Nice to hear it this way!

Forgot that Tain was the drummer while Branford (briefly) led the Tonight Show Band. Wish this was better sound- great talent on that stage.
