You probably know very good cover of this song by Buddy Guy. But this is the blues by Roosevelt Sykes and here you will hear the original version, brilliantly played and sang by Memphis Slim! Yet another gem from the 'Memphis Slim meets Roosevelt Sykes' session. Memphis plays and sings accompanied by Roosevelt Sykes on the second piano.
But who was Miss Ida B? Well, Memphis and Roosevelt talk about it, shedding some light on the character and the story of the girl immortalized by this amazing song!..

@bertrandui true...the racism of the times in the US chased players like Memphis Slim to Paris and Eddie Boyd to Finland, and Champion Jack Dupree to Germany they just got sick of it and left....they were more respected overseas than in their own country and that was, and still is, a shame

These two men complimented each other beautifully-natural extensions of each other. What a great running commentary!

The great Memphis Slim lived in France during 36 years. Unfortunetely, he died in Paris during the winter 1988.
