We play that tune, and i really like it.  I'll see if I have it recorded somewhere....

Cool!  I know of a couple versions.  Johnny Winter did it, and this guy...

Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty

There' a few others on YouToob as well; The Meters and Robben Ford. I like the original best though. Really nice sparsely layered, syncopated, simplistic groove that's very different. It also refreshingly has no guitar solo!!!!!

I think this may be my favorite Guitar/bass/drums band of all time. The first is an old O'Jays (actually older than that) tune. Not really a blues I guess, but more so than Deep Purple :)

The second is a blues for sure and has its own intro:

I'd heard a song or two from Snooks over the years but I re-discovered him maybe six months ago and listened to everything of his I could find. He was very eclectic, claimed to have a live repertoire of 2500 songs. Lots of acoustic stuff that I'm really not that interested in but there's plenty of other stuff that's just great.

Here's another simple little tune that I couldn't get out of my head for several months:

The bass playing on this Ten years after song caught my ear. It's got to be a Gibson bass, right?
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

Nice guitar work from Doyle Bramhall II. Thinking about checking his show out tonight at the Bull Run in Shirley Mass.

Doubt it! Bas(s)ically, Lyons is a Jazz Bass guy (and he could get that sound with the front pup). I've seen him play Wal, Warwick and boutique Jazz Basses, but never anything remotely Gibson. Not a short scale guy I believe.

"Lee was the best known as the front man of Ten Years After, and Lyons was the co-founder.  Lyon's bass playing is rock solid and is a great example of the rock blues styles of the sixties.  His main bass is a sunburst '62 Fender Jazz bass with a rosewood fingerboard. He still has the bass but also plays a replica of the bass, knocks dings and all, made for him by The Bass Centre in London."
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...
