This is a classic blues recording from Waters and his band. It's hard to believe how long ago this was recorded. The introduction to the video suggests it was recorded in the 1960's, but it was originally released in 1956 by Ann Cole and popularized by Waters in 1957. I still think of the 1950's being just forty years ago or so, but the 1950's was over at it's latest year over fifty years ago. It's funny to think how well some music holds up through the years. One of the band's I play with does a cover of this song, and with a little tweaking, it fits into our repertoire as well as anything else.
