  • Glad you liked the Blue Riders clip. 40 more are here, just use youtube searchwords: tymjar Blue Riders

  • drummer is the icing on the cake, you guys sound GREAT !!

  • "The groove __way back in the pocket__ is everything!" Fred Below once said that making good music is just like the recipe for baking a cake, using a varying amount the mix of ingredients(for each song). Listening closely for, so as never to step on, subtle shifts of vocal inflection and blending the instruments up underneath, supporting the vocal instrument is the key: the voice delivers about 95% of what most of people in an audience are gonna' respond to.

  • original?willy wrote it

    the man is a blues god

  • Great work there, "Sherlock of the blues" ...

    everybody knows that Willy wrote it. Howlin' Wolf is one of many that have recorded it.

  • This is ok.. but there is nothing like the original. Howlin Wolf!!

  • ...sounds like a reason for no one performing any songs that Wolf recorded, but Willie Dixon does not agree.

  • I have been playing this song for 41 years. In the right hands it is spooky brilliant. Howlin' Wolf's version is still my favorite, but I gotta admit, this is superfine. I love the way you creep up on this masterpiece. Your restraint is what separates bluesmen from the wanking boys.

  • justa little  hey Im goona ta get a few grams of killer !

  • Let me quote Willie Dxon "people that think this song is about heroin must have their own heroin ideas" !!

  • SPOOOOOONAY!!

  • Some of the original tekst is missing: a spoonful of COCAINE. Another monkey but just as heavy on your back. Charey "Bird" Parker was "Dancing with mr Brownstone".

    (See also a number of Guns n' Roses)

  • wow, way to go man, you are really tact

  • this song must just be one big heroin innuendo right?

  • very nice,love the vocal!

  • liked the harmonica .the guitar is just not there.pales in comparison with sumlin or Clapton.
