Too dark, I think this is the KIng King

[jayscott49]

tough rhythm section too, really makes this work, Bill Bateman plays the shit out of this. is that a magnatone or leslie the guitar player is playing thru, or just bad sound? these guys were all about the early T-Birds sound, tho Lester is a total original, one of the best ever,

miss him!

Yes, you're right, this is superb. What a great idea, a Slim Harpo groove with a Muddy/Wille Dixon song.

I might have to 'borrow' this idea. I have a Korg Leslie pedal, it makes a sound just like the guitar here, I love it, it's very tempting to overuse it!

It's a shame about Lester Butler. He obviously loved the blues. I never saw him play, regrettably.

Many thanks for posting this.

Yes, thanks for posting this. Lester was a great musician, what a tragedy losing his life at such a young age.
