@SamuelMPackwna"there's no way that's the bass. It's an overdriven electric guitar."

Ummm, who ya think might have played it? There are only two stringed instruments there. The Ox was a force of nature.

Just occurred to me that EC had learned the blues from the old blues artists on records as a young man in England, but Delaney and Bonnie and Duane and Leon taught him rhythm and blues. Oh, and JJ Cale.....

Thanks for posting, this is my favorite EC album, from a time when all the above were sitt...

Corrina, I don't know who you are but you must be a FINE woman to inspire two blues songs so widely played. I LOVE Taj's version best.

I went through the dope scene in the '70's and finally got out of it in the '90's. Was reminded of this song today on another website where a young man finds he can no longer play bass (I'm a bass player too) due to lack of concentration after smoking "K2 Spice". I suspect he was told it was K2 s...

Yep, Craig Fuller does a fantastic job here, but Lowell was one of a kind. That said, Richie was NEVER better than this!

One dislike....whoever you are, I just GOT to know what is it you LIKE?

Everything Bonnie sings is better for it.

Carol just keeps on layin down the groove for all that time while two of the best contemporary bass players in the world try to figure out something to play over her that might be somewhat interesting....this lady forgot more great bass lines 30 years ago than most bass players (especially me) wi...

I was a kid (18) when this came out and I got the album. Had a breakup with my 1st love (lust?)

Played the grooves out of this song...hearing it again the first few words brought back that feeling....amazing

Lee's eyes in the pic at 1:35 describe the early 70's to a "T".....TOASTED CRISPY!

Great tune.

It's a credit to Elton John that he brought attention back to Leon in his old age. The man is a phenomena. I saw him during the 'Leon Live' tour with Black Grass and it was the most high energy rock 'n roll show you could imagine. He rocked without a stop for about 30 minutes just one song right ...

I just couldn't continue to call myself a Tennessean if I didn't ask...

Ain't any y'all boys got ye a JEEP?

Anyway i had a great time listening...great song!

This must have been somewhat uncomfortable for Joe, out of his element (although he did a great job...nobody should have to try to sing this after Steve Winwood...)

John Barleycorn and other substances nearly killed him. So far he is beating the odds against performers with substance abuse prob...

Joe is a natural born class clown. He is also a natural born amazing songwriter and guitar player.If you can't see that, ask yourself why the Eagles were on the downhill slide of an early 70's country rock band right up until they hired him.

Thanks so much for this. My wife and I have quoted this album for all the years since we were married in 1974. Still great funny stuff, even here in the future fair.

"I bronze da shoes'....ROFLOL!!!!

I had one I bought in 1972. Still haven't found a faster neck. The sound with the band was thin though, could have used some pickups. I traded for a Fender P. VERY cool to find one NOS.

@socrates1818

Well when you get old the weight of the LP might be a factor.....

@SlipSliddinAway

Yeah, she can only spell S U P E R S T A R......key that in yer youtube browser and see what ya get. Leon Russell thought she could spell alright.

'wintertime is a razor blade that the devil made it's the price we paid for the summertime'

I this the same guy who wrote 'got me a limo, I ride in the back, I lock the doors in case I'm attacked'?

I always loved Joe Walsh BECAUSE he doesn't take himself too seriously (is THAT an understatemen...

Well, someone finally uploaded my favorite James Gang-Joe Walsh song. This is a Buffalo Springfield tune but I have loved this version since I first heard it. Thanks for posting it.

I would love it if somebody did a digital remix of this. The sound is hard to reproduce on a computer. The vinyl ve...

0 dislikes in nearly 3 years? I'm not keeping track but isn't that some kind of youtube record?

Thanks for posting the best example of British blue eyed soul I know of. Ridley and Marriot are awesome on this one, add the backup girls and I get the goosebumps every time.....

This was just one of those times when the band just clicked. It happened a lot back in the early 70's with Delaney and Bonnie and Leon Russel and Dave Mason and Joe Cocker when everyone just jammed on each others records.

Steve Winwood is amazing for his guitar and vocals.

Lot of people baggi...

OMG...where have I been while Bekka was coming up? You girls are the S#!t!!!!

She is an amazing product of her parents. But nobody ever put more of herself in a song than this.She gave EVERYTHING she got.

NOBODY ever did this song CLOSE to this well...Bonnie Bramlett is a force of nature.

Too many turns? It's a shame what happens to many classic old Fenders. This one was nearly identical to arguably the most famous bass in history, James Jamerson's 'funk machine'. Until someone cut the body for a Jazz pickup....

Clean it up, clean the pots and do an intonation and action adjustm...

Don't know whether Rusty Day or Steve Marriott gets my vote for the nastiest funkiest ugliest most awesome voice for hard rock music in history. I AM sure that Rusty was the lesser appreciated but neither got the recognition they both deserved. These boys knew how to ROCK!

I am new to Leonard Cohen and I have listened to about a dozen Cohen songs on Youtube.

I am going to have to listen to some Wet Willie now to overcome the desire to commit suicide! How did this guy get by on all that maudlin stuff? I have NEVER posted a negative comment about anyone here that I ...

@leston4life

I LOL'ed at this one. You may not like how he sounds, but I bet you wish you could make 1/10th of the money he has made because EVERYBODY ELSE thinks he is a very good, if not arguably one of the BEST rock singers in history. This was one of those magic combos from back in the day,...

Check out his discography on Wikipedia, you'll know why he doesn't have time to trim his beard....BTW it's Sklar not Sklarr....

@srpydiav

Yes, thanks. I discovered that shortly after I posted, I guess my tendency to stereotype was showing. IMHO she was born to sing this part. I know everyone likes the Youssou's version, but I prefer this one.

not sure if it is the same phrase, but in the historical novel by Louis Lamour, The Walking Drum,,'yol bolsun' was a Pecheneg (Central Asian tribe of horse cavalrymen) greeting meaning,

'may there be a road'.

@regionrat270

Me too...I would love to know the story behind this version...2010 radio edit acoustic funky cool version of one of my favorite Winwood tunes....

@plasticworlds

Ummm....it's an honor to correspond with the author of a traditional spiritual song written in the early 1800's. A very long time ago indeed!

Just spent a couple quality hours going back over as many of the SMB songs as I could find from the first 5 albums....BOY commercialism r...
