Can't believe I haven't heard this tune on RP before.
Looking at the timeline of comments, I'm guessing it isn't in rotation very often.
Solid 7 to start me off.

Robben Ford caught my attention years ago when he first appeared on the 1974 Tom Scott and the L.A. Express album 'Tom Cat.' Scott chose Ford, just a kid, to replace Larry Carlton when Carlton left the group. Ford has been as varied as he has been amazing ever since. Always years beyond his age. Hearing this song is like sampling the owner's reserve, standing next to the barrel, at a private wine tasting. Good choice Bill. Viva RP!



Love the description in your second last sentence!

Got the head bobbin' - and on a dreary mid-winter Thursday, that's an achievement! Worth at least a 7 in my book.

Went from an 8 to a 9. I have almost all of his CD's including a few bootlegged ones. Very original guitar technique.

It'd be nice to hear the original, by Ann Peebles. I have it on vinyl. It came out decades before Tina Turner covered it.
I had no idea that Tina Turner covered it, only that Missy Elliot had sampled it...

More importantly, which would be the mommy, and would they opt for a C-section? El_Penguino wrote:

Doesn't he look like that psycho in "Silence of the Lambs'? Not Hannibal , the guy who kept the girl in the well. Great Blues guy. Robben Ford, not the psycho.
Buffaloe Bill. Only this guy can play!

I saw this guy about a month ago with Eric Bibb and John Mayall and what a great guy to see live, if you get the chance make sure and go.

I REALLY like this, but I'm afraid that if I ran into that man in a bar (in..Cairo? by the looks of the album cover), I would not let him buy me a drink.

This song always make me think of Lowell George and his great version on "Thanks, I'll eat it here". This version has got a pretty good groove going too.

First time I've heard Robben Ford, and I like! Got a very authentic, gritty, irresistible sound going on here!

What clean guitar work. Good stuff!

Bit of Stevie Ray Vaughn, a bit of Gary Moore, a bit of B B King. I like it!

normally not too much into Robben Ford (although he\'s a great guitar player) but I like this one. Somewhere his playing reminds me a bit of B.B. King, it\'s some of those phrases I think.

This dude can make his guitar, sing, weep and moan. He\'s great.
