Used to play it all the time when it came out.
Haven't replaced it on CD - which I must now remedy.
Incidentally Gene does an amazingly addictive version of Tell It Like it is. Must see if it's on You Tube
And thanks for being our token Delta/Chicago Blues Appalachian American dave lad!!!
Much appreciated!
That's the music I listened to as a kid. My mates dad was-is my mentor musically. He's an old merchant seaman and he's jammed in clubs all over the world and was kind enough to educate me musically. He is the reason I grew up listening to black music primarily...and it's still my first love. Unlike most kids my age I didn't listen to Bowie and Slade,..Alice Cooper..I was listening to Curtis,Millie Jackson,she's rude....
Gil, Esther Phillips, Claudia Lennear, who you'l probably know as the inspiration for Brown Sugar and Lady Grinning Soul...and whom I still lust after.
As I got older I was able to appreciate the Blues more because of Danny explaining to me what the Blues actually...more than just a musical genre....it did take him a good few years till I was able to was able to understand and appreciate what he was trying to educate me in the beauty-the brilliance of Jazz, especially Bop.
I can never repay him for what he did and does...he introduced me to a band a few years back, Snarky Puppy-a fine instrumental-fusion band..the man's in his 80's and still knows.
