Written and recorded by Fenton Robinson in 1967 for Palos Records in Chicago, Illinois, USA. performed here Live in Holland in 1984.
In 1969 the song was covered by Boz Scaggs on his self titled album "Boz Scaggs" featuring a young session guitarist whos name was Duane Allman on lead guitar. Duane was a session guitarist at the time working at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio. I love both the Fenton Robinson and the Boz Scaggs versions and may well jam the Boz scaggs version at point as Duane's guitar solo is sublime but should you wish to compare the two you can hear the full 12:55 minute Boz Scaggs version with the incredible guitar of Duane Allman here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQndBhB3ULg
