Sorry Fred, you are corrected, an RT original from "Across a Crowded Room" - mid 80's |

Right up there with Brother Ray with that rich note bending voice and ability to make one feel blue.

Makes me want to hear the original. Nothing against Bonnie, but the original is much better.

That's quite some captcha on the cover :o). Great rendition of a blues classic, too (at least, I think it's a cover - I sit ready to be corrected). 8 from the toe-tappin' Nottingham jury.
