Not terribly interesting from the harmonica perspective -- I´m just repeating the main riff -- this is still one of the few takes from stuff that I´ve done with a group of friends that I can live with. (I realised, as I now listened to it after a few years.)
That "Minglewood riff" is hard to nail with the right amount of propulsiveness and I think this is a good attempt. Sort of harking back to an early Muddy/LW sessíon.
Singing is in Swedish, if you wonder, but it´s a fairly direct translation.

Well done and good listening. I think you nailed the riff.

Good earthy quality. I have been obsessing over this recently (the Baby Face Leroy version) so thanks for posting. It might be fun to do after a few shots of whiskey.

Sometimes I can't get this song and that damn riff out of my head. Listen to the version by Cream

Yep Martin you did exactly what the Harp should do on this song..hang on a good groove.I find when i do that sort of repeating Riff i can start to speed up,you controlled it well.

Thanks guys, and yes it´s an infectious little thing, that riff. (A reason for musicologists to take such an interest in it.)
We did other takes where I was more present, but were in total agreement that this tune does not require any solos or free-styling if you got the groove going.
