This is one of the more listenable tracks on this album. Generally, young white rockers doing the blues and trying to be taken seriously reminds me metaphorically of a little kid who dresses up in his Daddy’s suit that’s way to big for him. It just don’t fit. No matter how hard he tries the jacket sleeves are too long and the pant legs drag the ground.

I think that a fast tempo or a slow tempo has nothing to do with explanation of on a shuffle.

I know and he died of an OD...for many of us that consider him THE greatest white guitar blues player that ever walked the earth...is still alive, as long as these videos exists, not many of him by the way.

Mike Bloomfield,saw him with the Electric Flag in 68 and a few years

before his death.One of the Greatest guitar players on Earth.Clapton

said of Bloomfield during the Cream days that Bloomfield was the only

guitarist that gave him competition.It was all about feel!

[astrodaise1]

bullshit. the blues are in the soul, not in the color of one's skin

[mondola]

Thanks for bringing up this old cliche.

[DONDIVA1969]

Me too.

I thought the same thing when I first heard Charley Pride singing Country songs.

[wayne watson]

Being well produce makes a big difference. Very glad this one

was,it makes everything about it perfect.
