| HazzeSwede (Vinyl Land) | Posted: Sep 29, 2010 - 08:34  I'v been a life-time fan ! |
| Rp10v3r (Gainesville, FL) | Posted: Sep 29, 2010 - 08:33 Love this song. This is a great version. Also love Sonny Landreth playing it.  |
| jamesat43 (Cary, North Carolina) | Posted: Aug 28, 2010 - 08:45 The band is fantastic, but the vocal is just too week and bland. |
| LastChance (Sometimes Fort Worth, sometimes Dallas) | Posted: Jul 27, 2010 - 08:49 Seems this is a good song no matter who is playing it. |
| Det (Lower Saxony Germany) | Posted: Jun 25, 2010 - 11:53 cool stuff. uh...god dreamt this guitar riffs... |

It's AWESOME... He's got new stuff out? Oh, thanks - I'll have to put it on my list of stuff to buy when I win the lottery or get that mega-job. I'm serious. I have a list, and music is on it, after the bills and the car insurance. |

He slows it down a bit and gives the listener time to absorb the words and the rhythm. I'd never heard Mayall's version. His band is tight and they hit all the notes and the beat, but it just seems too fast for me. Wish Warren Zevon was still alive - man, what HE could do with this song... (He'd prolly change the lyrics, drop a few names, and piss a lot of people off - which is why I loved his music so much...) |

| boober (KC,Mo) | Posted: Jan 18, 2010 - 08:05 I prefer John singing the slower tempo blues. |

| Wizzuvvoz (Land of Nod. East of Eden on Route 66.) | Posted: Jul 13, 2009 - 08:38 I actually prefer this one to the original. Which I also dig a lot This is just too cool |

I totally agree, but then RP has conditioned us to both Neville's and Landreth's versions. Sonny's does truly rock. July 13: The vocal is really weak, but then John is also in his 70s. This just doesn't have the punch of the other versions heard on RP. |

| ejsamuel (great white north) | Posted: Mar 08, 2009 - 17:41 I feel I'm a johnny-come-lately to John Mayall. My first taste was his Back to the Roots album from the early 70s & he'd been around for a decade plus by that time. Bill - recommended cuts - Prisons on the Road & Television Eye- so bloody timely for today!!  MORE JOHN MAYALL PLEASE |
| stkman (Texas) | Posted: Jan 04, 2009 - 12:14 Great album, great musican,who isn't in Rock and Roll hall of Fame, yes there are other versions out there, alot of people do this song but this one is great and Sonny plays slide on this one |

As well as some Live Cowboy Mouth(Worlds best live band), Radiators, and some Dash Rip Rock. Bill Does play Yellow Moon a bit here, so there is some Nevilles, but more and older stuff would be great.I've met Art, Charles and his hippy wife(a very pleasant lady), and Aaron while working in a bike shop on Freret and Velance. They were very big on spending as much money as possible in their old neighborhood, even when they were living in big ol' places in more upscale areas. Charles, his wife and Aaron and his son were in often.
After Aaron's son was shot, and lied about who did it (playing with a pistol a friend had done it and they claimed a drive by white guy in a brown chevy), we held the boys bike in storage for several months until Big Aaron brought the kid in and further made his point by having the kid tell us all why he had been grounded and was just then getting the bike back. |

This one just seems slightly airy to me, not quite as rich as either of these others. I'd have to go with it being maybe fourth best adding the Funky Meters/Meters versions. Are you counting those in with the Nevilles though? |

| tulfan (Westland, MI) | Posted: Jan 07, 2003 - 11:10 I am truly impressed!! I have loved this album since it's appearance. I am a huge Coco Montoya fan (guitarist on this album) and was able to meet both John Mayall and Coco in Detroit after a performance some years ago. "The Sensitive Kind" off of the same album is quite mesmerizing as well. Great choice. |
| ndanger666 (Hackensack, NJ) | Posted: Oct 07, 2002 - 10:33 There are two Sonny Landreth versions; one that sounds very much like this and another which is a bit raunchier. The best Neville Brothers version (and how about some NB of RP?) is the live version. |

| barndweller (Redondo Beach, CA) | Posted: Aug 27, 2002 - 11:56 nice fills on the keyboard from John...and the guitar lead reminds me of the Blues Breakers days |
| ndanger666 (Hackensack, NJ) | Posted: Aug 27, 2002 - 11:54 Good as this version is, its no better than the third best. Sonny Landreth and The Neville Brothers are both superior. But this will do.  |

| mstokes46 (San Jose, CA) | Posted: Apr 16, 2002 - 12:21 This is an arrangement by Sonny Landreth. However, this is my favorite rendition. :D |
| Leslie (Antioch, CA) | Posted: Nov 26, 2001 - 22:35 Doesn't Los Lobos do this song too? Either way I think it's great. |
