waysider Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 OK---Here's some more blues. Gotta keep it somewhat mainstream. This one's been covered by hundreds of people since Hudson Whittaker(Tampa Red) wrote it back in 1928. Thus, it's gotten lots of airplay and the artist is--------- whoever you prefer. ( My personal favorite is Paul Butterfield, but Clapton did a pretty good version recently as well.) The cops took my baby in. She didn't need no bail. She shook it once for the judge And he put the cops in jail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfh Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Sorry, Waysider, I've been busy. Plus, the weather was just too dam nice to be inside today. Not too obscure; it's a great song, with great lyrics, especially the first verse: When you love a woman Baby love her with a thrill Cause, if you don't Somebody else will Gotta love that! I didn't know that Tampa Red wrote it way back in 1928. And I didn't know Paul Butterfield did it either. I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the Clapton clip - WOW. He sure can make that guitar talk. He is insanely talented. Hope he records it, so I can add it to one of my playlists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

Sorry, Waysider, I've been busy. Plus, the weather was just too dam nice to be inside today.
Not too obscure; it's a great song, with great lyrics, especially the first verse:
When you love a woman
Baby love her with a thrill
Cause, if you don't
Somebody else will
Gotta love that!
I didn't know that Tampa Red wrote it way back in 1928.
