Kansas City - Blues Standards

Most examples of this song start from the V (last four bars of the 12 Bar Blues Progression... V IV I V), contains the classic Root 3rd 5th 6th Octave bass line (2 3 4 5+ 6+ 5+ 4 3 on the harmonica... 1+ 2+ 3+ 3" 3' 3" 3+ 2+ for the IV Chord and 1 2' 3" 3 for the V Chord) and the classic mid-song break on the I (with the harmonica lick of 2 3 4 5+ 6+ in 2nd Position and 1 2' 3" 3 4 in 3rd Position).

The version the house band uses is in C and from the CD Muddy "Mississippi" Waters Live (Legacy Edition). Jerry Portnoy blows harp in 3rd Position (Bb Harmonica).
