A nice little solo number from a very young Peter Green.

john mayall paying this song is just wierd. most blues songs are about problems that can happen to everyone, but this song just seems awkward when sung by a white englander

[sam19851]

@AgentCarter

Well it is actually Peter Green playing and singing on this song. He was John Mayalls guitarist at the time.

Also remember that JB Lenoir is and was one of John Mayalls favorite ever bluesman, check out the song John wrote for him when he died.

My point is im sure John Mayall of all people would realize that the original and the original man himself makes others pale in comparison.

what youve said doesnt change anything. not sure you understand the context of the song...

@AgentCarter

I do actually, i just believe that f a song is poignant enough for someone to want to cover it they should beable to.......it's not as if Peter here is saying "feel MY pain i lost my brother in Aalabama"....he is just feeling the emotions through the song and i think he does a great job.

J B Lenoir doesn't seem to be suffering much in his Zebra jacket.

[diegocostarica21]

this song dont make much sense when a white brit sing it

[onlyonepea]

bbking said "peter green is the only guy to ever have given me shivers" so .. my friend, black or white.. makes no difference..its whats in your soul that counts.. unles you know better that BBKing?

[bobmango54]

@sam19851 I second the G major

[AgentCarter]

@strangeones4 what does that have to do with whether or not it makes sense for this song?

[strangeones4]

@AgentCarter Seek out Fleetwood Mac, "I've Got a Good Mind to Give Up Living" through Youtube. That BB King song makes perfect sence for Peter Green. Much more than Paul Butterfield.

[AgentCarter]

@strangeones4 no it doesnt help. its not the same thing. this song's lyrics dont make sense when sung by him because none of the lyrics apply to him, regardless of how much supposed suffering he experienced elsewhere
