@TheFeathers2010 both versions serve their purpose.... i would have never found this version if it weren't for my step dad introducing me to awesome music like the stones, hendrix and krimson.... this recording was way ahead of its time, being retro and futuristic at the same time...

makes jagger + richards seem like prissy boys.

He wrote this in 1929, then during the '30s became very religious after seeing the violence at blues juke joints. He was eventually ordained a minister.

From the 1930s on he would only sing blues with gospel lyrics, and he changed the lyrics to 'That's No Way To Get Along' to a christian theme (but the tune stayed the same) and it became called 'Prodigal Son' after the bible story - no more talk of "low down women" etc. 'The Prodigal Son' version was the one the Rolling Stones covered.
