I've always liked Paul Butterfield's harp on this song. There's a version with just Butterfield and one guitarist that's my favorite, but I can't find it on youTube.

And my favorite version from Fred McDowell's famous Capitol LP, and the one that made me realize it's all one chord.

edit: not really clear whether this was a Capitol LP or a Malaco LP or both, but "Don't play no rock 'n roll" remains one of the greatest records of all time.

posting Lightnin' songs somehow feels like cheating...
...i don't discourage it at all, just identifying it feels like cheating.

It is cheating if Lighnin' is wearing a suit with a bow tie. However much counterbalanced by the cool shades.

The shirt and the pants make a fashion statement that can't be missed.

I read somewhere that back in the day record stores had a hard time deciding whether to put Mose with blues or jazz. started a lot of arguments...............(~:\

Bukka is the origin of Parchman Farm, autobiographical from his time spent there in the 40s. fun cover by John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers with Clapton in the 60s if you want to look it up.

Willie Dixon wrote Seventh Son (and dozens of other blues songs you've heard, you might just haven't realized it yet).
