| Dahlia_Gumbo (San Francisco) | Posted: Apr 12, 2013 - 18:48 Yeah, a fave of mine. Thank you. Way cool.  |
| unclehud (now 50 feet above the planet in Boston) | Posted: Feb 08, 2013 - 23:14 A Hammond B3 and a whacka-whacka guitar technique that's rarely (never?) heard these days. |
| dw (PHill, CA) | Posted: Jan 08, 2013 - 15:18 This defines "cool"! |
| gypsyman (just passing through....) | Posted: Dec 11, 2012 - 08:11 Anyone ever hear Roy Buchanan's version? |

| BKardon (Louisville, CO) | Posted: Oct 09, 2012 - 15:09 This is one of the definitive songs of the last 50 years. Definition of a 10. |
| cShaggy (..in the general vicinity..) | Posted: Oct 06, 2012 - 11:50 ..if ever a song cried out for lyrics..(play it some more & i'll try).. |
| Jelani (Home of the freak, land of the vague) | Posted: Aug 07, 2012 - 14:12 I LOVE this. It's a bummer it's not on their greatest hits album. (?!) |
| ziakut (Right Here) | Posted: Aug 07, 2012 - 14:12 RIP Donald "Duck" Dunn |
| davedog (Twin Cities, MN) | Posted: Aug 07, 2012 - 14:11 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. |
| whtahtefcuk (Flagstaff, AZ, USA) | Posted: Jun 05, 2012 - 08:48 Welcome to Dave's Dinner... Anyone remember that? Some radio show from my past? |

| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Aug 01, 2011 - 03:32 This always makes me think of the classic Robert Crumb 'Keep on Truckin' cartoon:  |

(I'm smellin you wenatchee) 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. |

I'm imagining green onions in the ears. Pretty amusing after a couple glasses of wine and some nice salmon. |

| Dave_Mack (Kicking out the jams) | Posted: Mar 17, 2011 - 13:52 Too cool for school! The definitive instrumental. |
| unclehud (300 feet above the planet) | Posted: Feb 24, 2011 - 12:11 Too bad that these guys get pigeonholed with their three or four mega-tunes. They were some of the best Stax to come out of Memphis. Maybe it isn't too bad, because as often as their songs are used in the movies, each probably has a nice life. By the way, Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn were also 'Blues Brothers.' |
| cixelsyd (Winterpeg) | Posted: Feb 17, 2011 - 09:29 Ya Ya Ya ! |

| toterola (Further) | Posted: Dec 13, 2010 - 11:53 I got to see Booker T. play this at Coachella last year. The Drive-By Truckers were his backing band. Too cool. |
| careyz | Posted: Nov 15, 2010 - 00:16 Soooo Good I had to bump it from a 9 to a 10. Thanks, I needed that! |
| socalhol (Seattle) | Posted: Nov 11, 2010 - 16:44  This song now makes me think of Julianne Moore & Colin Firth dancing in "A Single Man". Great scene! |
| Jeff09 (Gainesville, Florida) | Posted: Nov 11, 2010 - 16:42 Late 90s, university town, downtown pool hall, cigars, beer, good friends, Booker T. & The M.G.s.... |

| treatment_bound (Duluth to Madison) | Posted: Aug 11, 2010 - 12:43 Anybody remember this from the movie version of Quadrophenia, when Phil Daniels as our attention seeking protaganist Jimmy Cooper invented stage diving, only then it was more like balcony diving? |
| Sorcha (Providence, Rhode Island) | Posted: Jul 07, 2010 - 08:15 This song is so awesome that I'm having it played at my memorial service someday so my friends can dance and holla' in my memory! |
