    Like a lot of people, I love Clarence Carter's original version of this song- but, this is the best damn "cover" I ever heard. They couldn't have picked two better people to do the song... The King of the Blues, and The King of Country Music... Both men full of soul.

His teaming with the two of them in particular demonstrated a dedication to and love of music for its own sake almost more than anything else could. Thx for posting.

    I absolutely love the Blues, but have to admit that I have never heard this song before tonight... it is a great song, but this particular version is a little bit too "countryish" for me. BB's Lucille does her job wonderfully, along with her master :) Other versions of it I also listened to, are more to my liking, but as we all know, it is about different taste-buds... nothing wrong with the ice-cream :)
