When you think of JR, think about that classic movie "Water Boy" , cause he and Mammma have a thick of a cajun draw as they come, when they need it, that's why anyone thinking JR was nothing but a perennially top 40 guy- I dare so one to challenge him on the "walking Blues" JR- gifted with many voices and interpretations and master of them all.
This guy's terribly under-rated in every respect -- for example, his guitar playing, so well represented here. And so many of his songs, like this one, were recorded live. He's a monster.
look up johnnyrivers.com and find a concert. He is better in person. He will rock the house as good as 50 years ago. He has every age on their feet and dancing, even the 70 year olds.. A real living leagend.
+James Mack You're missing something here son, Johnny Rivers was playing the blues when very few other white dudes were. He was huge in 1962-63, opened the whiskey a go go. You are correct in that his is not the ultimate version of this tune but the guy was doing rock and roll and doing it well when it was out of favor. Further he's one of the few Americans that didn't roll up and die (so to speak) when the British invasion hit.
hIS GREATEST accomplishment is staying alive. I won't hear much talk of "the greatest of them all" if they are gone at 25. When you add my daddy's number one rule- NO BIKES....makes it more remarkable.
I would love to see him in person play I could watch him play everyday ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
Love Johnny Rivers!
Many covers of this song by many artists but this is far and away the best of the best !

In truth, I believe he could play well- and in his own brand and style- but seems edgy and hires a lead guy to "get him thee"
You got that right 👏👏👏
I could watch n listen to Johnny play Avery day n night 😊😊❤❤😊😊

With Johnny Rivers,nothing surprises me. He can do it all.

Clinton a sacarse el sombrero
Thank you
Johnny Rivers could cover most songs better than the original artist. His early live albums are amazing
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Thats because over 50 years I was around when Johnny first came out with those songs. I am 70 years old now.
puro blues....
TERESA TERE n
I Soli agree
какая музыка!
Pienso que así podria ser la versión que tocaron los Rolling Stones en el Rock & Roll Circus

@mallett4 this is my cousin no lie
orei do go go
Do yourself a favor. Look up Joe Bonamassa. Eric Claption, Muddy Waters, Son House,and some others singing this same song.
+James Mack on't forget the best version - Paul Butterfield Blues Band
+James Mack I'll jump in .................Roy Rogers

I love Clapton and Muddy but this is the best cover ever, I don't mix love with music
