This guy is magic. Really has a huge mixing of sound and a wide range. Found out he borrowed the idea behind the lyrics for this song when my Itunes shuffled onto Jimmy Reed's "Bright Lights Big City". Speaking of Magic, I've recently stumbled into the urethra of blues and have had the virtuoso guitarist/singer Magic Sam on repeat. Was linked to him after listening to his younger friend and student Magic Slim, who has a more classic Chicago blues sound to him. The sheer rawness, the natural skill at an instrument still in its infancy for this purpose is astounding- and he could sing his heart out. Even the other musicians look at each other like they are Marvin Berry listening to Marty McFly play

just realized the added twang in the chorus riff of this live version sounds a lot like Otis Rush's song All Your Love, about a minute in
