Just found this on YouTube. I played harp on this cut (guitar also, IIRC). There's an interesting story about this song; please forgive me if I've told it before. We (Mighty Mo Rodgers and band) played this song when we opened for Taj Mahal at the House of Blues, West Hollywood (I think it was the year 2000). This was the only song that we played that night that had harp in it. After our set, the dressing room for the opening band was small, and it was full. So, my girlfriend and I sat out in the hall. After a while, Billy Gibbons came walking down the hall. I jumped up and said "Are you Billy Gibbons?" He stuck out his hand to shake mine and said "You play a mean horn." Sad to say, that might have been the high point of my career.
Cool story. If that was your high point it was a pretty damn good one. Nice job on the song BTW. I'm quite interested in Mighty Mo Rodgers. He posted something on Facebook the other day saying "blues is boring" (the way it is currently played.) I'm trying to get my guitar guys to do Blues is My Wailing Wall. MMR seems a very thoughtful guy. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the compliments, you guys. @BronzeWailer - Yeah, that sounds like something Mo would say; he refuses to perform anything but his own original compositions (with rare exceptions). He says he won't play "Top 40 Blues". And he is a very thoughtful guy; he has an MA in Philosophy.
