Recorded in 1952 by "The King of the Jukebox", Louis Jordan. Junco Partner is a traditional American blues song remarkable for being covered and revised by many artists over several decades. Some of them include Dr. John, Professor Longhair, James Booker and The Clash. It was played in different music genres such as blues, folk, rock, reggae and dub. The song's lyrics refer to needles, drugs, wishes, and to the notorious Louisiana prison farm in Angola.
Well, the original gets more hits than me. And that should be the case. This is only my favorite version, not the best :)
