Little Walter, Billy Boy Arnold and Little Willie Smith play on other tracks. Jeff Beck, huh? Pretty cool.

It sounds to me like it is in production. As if a lead harmonica clumsily is spliced together with the rhythm harmonica. It appears Billy Boy Arnold is the harp player in question. You may know him as the originator of I Wish You Would, made more famous by The Yardbirds.On The Flip-Sidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07319364292191851993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497209460362406306.post-21906000064348279062010-06-15T11:18:07.925-07:002010-06-15T11:18:07.925-07:00I've always loved this tune.

Also the song has four verses with the first two sung differently from second two. In the second two the vocals go down to the 7 and I had always assumed the instrumentation did too, but no, instrumentation keeps on its groove. The call and response changes here too. Harmonica is lush! Is this from record? There is a slight glitch at the end, not?Flipsiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983978215194067317noreply@blogger.com
