Great song, but is that inane electronic buzzing really necessary? Doubt it.

 
I don't hear that.  Try plugging the jacks in all the way.  Plus I think the number is more than 10 million by now.

I saw Otis on the San Diego blues cruise last Oct.... Jaw dropping shows he did.....I mean stunning, and he is very nice as well..... His daughter plays bass with the band and he had a violinist named Anne Harris, she is sooooo good... Look her up, check it out.....I haven't seen any other show quite like it.

Never heard of Otis Taylor until a couple months ago when we were at the Doheny Blues Festival.  He played this song, which really caught my attention as were we walking by, so we stayed and listened to the rest of his set.  Gotta say though that I like his version on "Recapturing the Banjo" better than this one.

Go to the download service of your choice and check this guy out.

If you're anything like me, it'll be an expensive but worthwhile visit.

His website calls this "trance blues". I really like it! Thanks, Bill. Another artist "found" through RP.

Wow, never heard this, or of Otis Taylor (so shoot me), but I'm enjoying this song.
I'm getting a Richie Havens "Freedom" vibe from this.

Very interesting. Is that Johnette, or whatever her name is, from Concrete Blonde, singing the "hey hey"s? Or maybe Toni Childs? (No backing vocals show on the credits on AMG)


It's his daughter Cassie Taylor
