Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring an incredibly aggressive, propulsive slide guitar riff, this acoustic recording showcases the Delta master's ability to drive a rhythm with the intensity of a full band. Its highly infectious, driving structure was famously adapted by rock legends like The Rolling Stones decades later.
