I first heard this song by BB King.. I think it's on 'The Jungle'.. might be wrong. Anyway I liked it - a blues with a tune - always good. Now I know that it was actually written and recorded by The Delmore Brothers.. a country act. So it joins the list of country songs which have become blues standards. See I keep trying to get that connection across to people.. blues, country, rock'n'roll.. all the same. But some people won't have it. My friend Lou Martin (Killing Floor / RG Band) would have understood intuitively - of course, it's obvious. I'm rambling again..

Anyway here's my version. I actually started recording this about a year ago but it wasn't right. I went back and re-did it a few months back and set it aside. When I revisited it recently I was happy to hear that there was something going on there.

If I could just remember which guitar I used.. must be the Strat surely, you can hear the out of phase.. then again I get that on the old Epiphone. Well it sounds pretty good whatever it is - I hope you enjoy the music.

'Blues Stay Away From Me' written by Henry Glover, Alton Delmore, Rabon Delmore, Wayne Raney. Originally released by the Delmore Brothers on King Records, 1949.
