my favourite lemon jefferson tune ever, the first time i heard this tune i just fell in love with it. the slide work is amazing & the singing is so heart felt. this tune shows how music really is timeless, it still sounds amazing all these years later with such power & feeling.

thanks so much for posting this track, you made my night.

[herrloop]

There are a few recordings of this song by Jefferson but this the best. Such a raw haunting recording, when he hits that wail it gives me goosebumps. This is what the blues is all about.

Never fell in love with BLJ music the way I did with Robert Johnson or Charley Patton but the more I'm discovering him IDK what I was thinking, he is incredible

@MrExcellinkus

yep

[MrExcellinkus]

Sounds like he's saying,

Jack o' Diamonds is a hard card to play.

[TZEITEL10]

Rest in Peace

[canadianbacon007]

Well they say that ace is high

But I know that that's a lie

Jack o' diamonds is a hard card to find

[ukulazy]

Right on... that first lick you hear in this song changed my life when I heard it... it's pure, raw emotion... that plus the static hiss in the background... the setting...

Next to "Blues" in the dictionary there should be a tab for this song.
