Album Notes & Community Reviews

Utilizing extended automotive metaphors to explore themes of infidelity, this passionate acoustic track became the legendary bluesman's only significant regional hit during his lifetime. The driving slide guitar and high-pitched vocal wails showcase a completely virtuosic command of the Delta tradition.
