Howlin' Wolf aka Chester Burnett "Goin' Down Slow", this was originally recorded by St. Louis Jimmy in 1941 and again issued on Bluebird Records.

Howlin' Wolf released it on his album "Howlin' Wolf" in 1962 on Chess Records. The guitar isn't The Wolf, it's Hubert Sumlin and it's actually indescribable, possibly one the most dirtiest guitar pieces ever, it's very sexy.



Here's the original "Goin' Down Slow" by St. Louis Jimmy, his own composition. The piano is played by Roosevelt Sykes.

All treated like crap, no royalties usually, ie. Willie Dixon, Lightnin' Hopkins etc. Willie Dixon shamed Jimmy Page into giving him royalties though by suing him in 1987. Good for Willie.

Reminded me of this one,

Reminded me of this one,

Freddie King..was probably underrated. OOoOOO-wee! He got that stuff!

I mean like almost B.B., Albert, and SRV stuff. That's the real thing.

Yes he probably was, did he write the song? I remember hearing it in the 70s.

No idea, but he owned it!

He didn't. "Don Nix" did.

Speaking of SRV, here's a version with his teh awesome band:



I would wager the Freddie King version and this one are the 2 best ones.

But everybody likes this song:



That is 1 killer song! Like "Stormy Monday".

Oh yeah! Here's 1 with Jeff Beck AND SRV live.

Freddie knows how to do it.

Freaky how his style is so similar to B.B. and Albert, but they ain't related.

My dog likes Funk, I was exercising, and this song came up, our dog jumped up and went wild. She never did it to any other song, she is wagging her tail now.
