Mannish Boy by Scottish guys (Big Country)

 

An old favorite and not covered very much. The song has a great backstory as well.

 

it starts with one of Muddy's well-known and frequently covered songs:

 

"[I'm Your] Hoochie Coochie Man" · Muddy Waters, '54

 

 

This inspired the B-side of Bo Diddley's first single, "I'm A Man" (the A side is the well-known "Bo Diddley" song) recorded in early '55 and covered numerous times:

 

 

Just a few months later, this in turn inspired Muddy to create an arrangement of and an "answer song" to Bo Diddley's "I'm a Man", called "Mannish Boy"

 

 

Live version:

 

 

One additional note: In '64 the Yardbirds unleashed their own version of Bo Diddley's "I'm a Man", and made a well-known studio recording in "65 with Jeff Beck at Chess records in Chicago. Their version features the signature "rave-up" arrangement, when the beat shifts into double time and the instrumentation builds to a crescendo.

 

 

This Yardbird version was the first one I had heard. It broke on the radio when I was a 13 year old kid who played drums in a wanna-be rock band. The song lit me up! Only years later did I appreciate the song's history. Happy listening.

"Fat Possum Records has released the Memphis ’69 documentary film, capturing three days and two nights of the sweltering, interracial 1969 Memphis Country Blues Festival, held within weeks of a KKK rally at the same location. Full song performances include a number of iconic Blues Hall of Famers such as Rufus Thomas & The Bar-Kays; slide guitar great Booker “Bukka” White; Sleepy John Estes with Yank Rachel; Texas’ Johnny Winter; Memphis’ own Furry Lewis, Beale Street sweeper who opened for the Rolling Stones; and North Mississippi bluesman Mississippi Fred McDowell.

""High Water Everywhere" is a Delta blues song recorded in 1929 by noted blues singer Charley Patton. The song is about the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and how it affected residents of the Mississippi Delta, particularly the mistreatment of African Americans. Patton recorded it during his second session with Paramount, in late 1929; his recordings from this session are frequently considered his best works."

 

" The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 was the most destructive river flood in the history of the United States."

 

 

"Bob Dylan paid tribute to the song in his 2001  " High Water (For Charley Patton)"."

 

 

 

"High Water Everywhere" · David "Honeyboy" Edwards, 2000

 

 

Patrick Ferris and Taj Mahal perform Charley Patton's "High Water Everywhere" in the PBS/BBC film American Epic.
