Thanks. Those are both great tracks (which I have in my collection) but they represent stock phrasing for that position. That's NOT a criticism, by the way.
To understand the point I am making you need to listen to Wilson on "Got To Let You Go" and "You Put The Hurt On Me". That phrasing breaks the standard patterns for 3rd position and is more jazz inflected than the trad stuff.
As you enjoy third position playing, please check out James Cotton playing 'Love Me Or Leave Me' on 'Chicago! The Blues Today!' (recorded in 1965/66) and Curtis Salgado playing 'Who's Been Talkin' ' on the first Robert Cray album. Both of these tracks are classics.
I have to say that I feel that Rod Piazza is an equal to Kim - but it's not really a competition...
Thanks to Ronnie Shellist for posting this fine performance!
can you people shut the hell up with the overblows underdraws lip snapping butt clenchin holding breath while pissing dialogue already and enjoy the music. BTW there is finally some decent fottage of walter on youtube for thoses of you who doubt his greatness! and Blues is far more complex than 12 bar...
All props to Kim as a harp master and fine singer. But what's with the rotating door in this "band" these days? I mean, does he even play more than one gig without someone leaving the band? Is he just a huge prick to work with or what?
I think you'll be very pleased with that purchase!

Many thanks.
I have Hurt On Me and I agree that is superb. It's my favourite track on Lookin' For Trouble.
At present I don't have Smokin' Joint (which contains Got To Let You Go, for those who don't know) but I will acquire it as soon as possible.
