Outstanding. * * * * *

Like many others, I imagine, my familiarity with this tune comes from the Stevie Ray Vaughn take on it. I LOVE hearing other arrangements of tunes I'm familiar with and like. Obviously this one pre-dates Stevie's take. GREAT stuff!

Outstanding. Like many, my first introduction to this song was SRV's version. I love hearing different arrangements, this one obviously pre-dating his. Great stuff.

PS: when a similar post to this shows up later in this thread from me, thank the spam filter.

NO ONE sounds or plays like SBWII ;-)
You could throw SRV, BB King, Albert King and even Paul Butterfield on stage together and they wouldn't even come close to doing this song better.
