A Hammond B3 and a whacka-whacka guitar technique that's rarely (never?) heard these days.

Amen. Duck's one of my idols. However, Lewie Steinberg played bass on this recording.

This is one of the definitive songs of the last 50 years.  Definition of a 10.

I've always wondered why this song is so good.  Simple blues song without any real remarkable playing.  But it's a great song that I always pay attention to.

OR when the sun is going down on a warm summer Friday night, the smell of barbecue just kicked you in the nose and a cold beer just winked at you and is demanding a big kiss on the lips?!

This should be Volume 1, Track 3 of the Chicago soundtrack.
