A great follow up to your previous upload. Very nicely played indeed. You got me whipping out a Bb and playing along to this as I was enjoying it a lot!

terrific rendition, friend...great bluesy moans...check out a group called The Harmonicasters doing this. Go to archive.org, click on live music archive, then scroll down to the "h's." You'll find a show from the Harmonicasters, and they do a great version of this. You'll pick up some new riffs and phrases for this song...cheers from NJ, Bob G (aka, RevolutionMan)

Thanks, Bob! Listening now to

Thanks Hank!
Yes, the timing of the vocals is difficult (maybe trying to perform them at the last possible moment helps). In this recording I ended up the third vocal chorus too prematurely. Later I found that if I sync the last three lines of that chorus with the chords transition I could end just before the solo (or if not careful after ;-) ) .

Well Done!!

Nice cover of the original - accurate for riffs and groove. Vocals are cool - I find this one tough for timing on vocals because of how each phrase doesn't start on the beat - maybe you could delay them a bit to get it closer to original but they are well done. Solo is well done with good bends.
