| Many (including myself) would seem to disagree. Blues is an integral part of the lineup and 8.1 is a pretty darn good rating for RP. burdell wrote: Have to agree. Especially at 8 in the morning. Grating to the ears.

| Worth $3.50 of anyone's money!! |
| For a long time I thought this was the original — until I found out today that Muddy Waters' recording is itself a cover of Hambone Willie Newbern's " Roll and Tumble Blues". Bill, playlist the original (and get shot of the frustrating, average Jeff Beck cover!)

I prefer the Osmonds' version of this song because it has a theremin and a screaming guy in red spandex. Seriously, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Robert Johnson, BB King - they all put a big grin on my face when I listen to their music... I love this song to pieces.
Muddy actually DID do some pretty cool stuff with speedy "modern" blues guitarist Johnny Winter in his later daze... |
| In my Hotel-room nobody takes her knickers off!
|
| A song is not necessarily good, because Muddy is written on the cover!
|
| Artist status aside, this song feels like a visit with grandpappy. Zzzzzz
|
| Ah, such a comforting sound.
Well, I rolled and I tumbled,
Cried the whole night long.
Well, I rolled and I tumbled,
Cried the whole night long.
Well, I woke up this mornin,
Didn't know right from wrong.
Well, I told my baby,
Before I left that town.
Well, I told my baby,
Before I left that town.
Well, don't you let nobody,
Tear my barrelhouse down.
Well, ahh, mmm-hmmm,
Owww, oww ooo, aww, oww, oh.
Aaa, mmm-hmmm, oww, oh oh oh
Owww, oww ooo, aww, oww, oh.
Well, if the river was whiskey,
And I was a divin duck.
Well, if the river was whiskey,
And I was a divin duck.
Well, I would dive to the bottom,
Never would I come up.
Well, I could a had a religion,
This bad old thing instead.
Well, I could a had a religion,
This bad old thing instead.
Well, all whiskey and women,
Would not let me pray.

| Did he say "If the river was Whiskey and I was a Garden Gnome"?

| You know, Bobby Dylan does a nice cover of this.
He's a touring this summer. And I will see him in Iowa, South Dakota, and maybe Indiana.
Yeah baby...on the road with Bob.

| No.

| You who like this should make the progression from the latest iteration all the way back in years, through Blind Lemon, etc. Interesting to hear each one after the other.
Extra credit: Compare this with Canned Tuna's version.
