Outstanding....and JJ is the one who wrote it. I love honky tonk, juke joint, roadhouse music. haha
My fav version is from Lynrd Skynard. This was recorded at Muscle Shoals. At one time I saw a documentary type thing about Muscle Shoals and this kind of regular southern guys ('bama) that stars from all over the world went to see to produce/record some great songs. Short list of some of the artists that recorded at the Shoals includes the Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin, George Michael, Wilson Pickett, Willie Nelson, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Joe Cocker, Levon Helm, Paul Simon, Bob Seger, Rod Stewart, Tamiko Jones, Cher and Cat Stevens. Cher I don't quite get but why not. haha

Fixing it....I just really love honky tonks, juke joints, and roadhouses and the music is just a bonus! haha
Give me a place with a hitching rail out front, chicken wire in front of the stage, and all they serve is long necks and I'm in heaven.
So...I'm kind of on a roll here. This is from an album called Super Sessions...I think I might have mentioned this before (god, I hope I didn't post this song before...what did I have for breakfast, please? haha).
The story is that Al Kooper had a couple of days of studio time so he called up a bunch of musicians...from The Electric Flag... for a session, principal among them being Mike Bloomfield (extraordinary guitarist). So, they recorded the first day and then Bloomfield just disappeared on Kooper and went home....because....WTF knows. He later died and it was called an OD but....there are questions.
So, stuck with the studio and his prime musician in the wind, Kooper called up Stephen Stills, who was in the process of leaving Buffalo Springfield, and they recorded on the second day.
If you even listen to the album, its startling as side 1 is mostly instrumental and features Bloomfield and his blues sound and side 2 is Stephen Stills and more of a western rock sound.
This comes from side 2 and is a cover of a Dylan song, "It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry"
Hope you enjoy it.

Well, still been thinking about Super Session...but side one this time. This is called Albert's Shuffle and its basically Mike Bloomfield blowing the doors off with an electric guitar. He would have been in the pantheon of guitar gods if he didn't OD young.
But I think my fav part is when the Hammond B3 comes wailing in....good god, I love a blues playing organ.

Clapton again....from Back to the Cradle album which I saw when he was on tour. Now, Clapton is IMO a guitar god....singer, eh...not so much. He has a serviceable voice, in my view, but without his guitar playing I don't believe he would have had a career in music just on his singing.

I guess I just wasn't made for these times.
Well hot damn. This thread is getting some new traction. Cool.
My lady friend and I celebrated our week of pretending to need jobs by using the swing set on campus while it was pouring rain. And we had our headphones on. I've never seen her so young before.
And of course, she got higher than I did.
I had to explain to her what a skyway is. These Southerners just don't get it.
She prefers to think it's about interstellar space travel.

Fuckin' love it, mate. We digging on the real blues here now, right. Not any of that later day yuppie whit e boy blues but the reeeeeeeal stuff now, we talking about. I put the good sister on my music buy list.
So, I got one coming back at you...the year 1963 and, shock of shocks, actual recording of a live performance by Sonny Boy Williamson. There are actually two songs in this clip, so hang in there and listen to them both.
And a bonus track...this is Sonny Boy again with just him and his mouth harp. This is southern/delta blues right here.
