Sean Weaver and the Loudest Wedding Band Ever -- Mannish Boy Part One

From the loudest wedding band ever. Sat. 10.3.09 (SRV's 55th b-day) @ the Heritage Room in Olympia, WA. Spent a lot of time playing country-blues under the mentorship of the indelible John Miller of Seattle, listening to pre-war blues, and early Chicago blues. But again, I never have gotten over hearing Jimi Hendrix for the first time...

Sean Weaver: Guitar/Vocals
Michael Smith: Rhythm & Lead Guitar
Scott Simmons: Electric Bass
Everett James: Drums

And because the vocals are buried in the mix. The intention was to combine the early Chess records lyric and the version that appeared on Electric Mud:

Ooooooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
Everythin', everythin', everythin's gonna be alright this mornin'
Ooh yeah, whoaw

Now when I was a young boy, at the age of five
My mother said I was gonna be the greatest man alive
But now I'm a man, way past 21
Want you to believe me baby,
I had lot's of fun

I'm a man
I spell mmm, aaa child, nnn
That represents man
No B, O child, Y

That spell mannish boy
I'm a man
I'm a full grown man
I'm a man
I'm a rollin' stone
I'm a man
I'm a hoochie coochie man


Sittin' on the outside, just me and my mate
You know I'm made to move you honey,
come up two hours late

Ain't that a man
No B, O child, Y
That mean mannish boy
I'm a man
I'm a full grown man
Man
I'm a natural born lovers man
Man
I'm a rollin' stone
Man-child
I'm a hoochie coochie man

The line I shoot will never miss
When I make love to a woman,
she can't resist
I think I go down,
to old Kansas Stew
I'm gonna bring back my second cousin,
that little John the Cocheroo

All you little girls,
sittin' out at that line
I can make love to you woman,
in five minutes time

Ain't that a man...

Jimi song? Dude, that's Muddy Waters. ....and if you didn't know, then you've got to check out the original; it kicks ass! Love Jimi, but got to hear Muddy.

@DroopaLoop100 Ditto. Muddy. Waters. Was. The. Man. ;) Love Eric and Jeff Beck as I do, I often think that Jimi had a deeper internal grasp and understanding of Muddy, John Lee Hooker and Charlie Patton than came across in the other guys at that time in England. Some would make a case for Peter Green, of course. I always felt like Eric played a little too on top of the beat, but still adore his playing. Something I've been working on a lot lately (playing more on the backside of the beat)

This sounds pretty damn good. I love jam versions of any Jimi song
