Great cover of a great iconic blues tune by Robert Johnson, who influensed a slew of later artists. Eric Clapton, Peter Green, The Stones, Led Zeppelin, Johnny Winter just a few who have covered his songs (29).
If you were to start reading up on The Rolling Stones you won't get too far before reading about Elmore James. James's mother had a romantic relationship with the now iconic bluesman Robert Johnson, who tudored a young Elmore on the guitar, or so the story goes.
Brian Jones was mesmerized by James, he idolized the guy and he had a huge influense on him.

I once listed every single 1000 yard rusher in history, their school, their pro team/teams, their best season, yep a big ordeal and time consuming. Most got into it and made it worth my while.
Then there was this one guy...."you spelled (can't remember) wrong".....everybody :-)
