  • This song isn't the normal blues tradition of taking the lyrics, maybe the melody, and performing completely ur own style, like folk songs. RL is going note for note sometimes on JLH version. This is like a tribute

  • actually like this better than the j.l. h. version. better voice but i love john lee as well in most everything he does...just not this oen.

  • RL was a baaad man ....

  • My kinda tunes!! kool.

  • @fngrpkn06 I just wanted to add; people think you have to sound like Robert Johnson or Blind Blake to sing the blues, well take a listen to Hank Sr. differnt genre to some, but he is wailin' those blues. Jimmie Rodgers and those country blues, blues is every where.

  • This man lived and played those blues aint no form aint no rules blues is blues it is life the good the bad and the ugly!!

  • @KARSSIENOOMS ya dirty fecker

  • @magnvsmarcvs worse than that! he stayed at my place for a few days....he looked and sounded pretty human to me, bearing in mind he drank just about all of my Bell's whiskey! :-)

  • @KARSSIENOOMS You talked with RL ???? , that´s impossible , no living man ever spoked with God !

  • @magnvsmarcvs RL taught me this one in open G, which he called "Spanish Tuning".

    so: D G D G B D. grtz. cas.

  • Smoooooth....

  • just lıke neşet ertaş.. so good.
