My version of Muddy Waters' classic, written by one Bernard Roth.

Mr Roth also wrote another of Muddy's greatest hits, 'Forty Days and Forty Nights'. I don't know what he was on at the time, but it was certainly potent. His songs are rich in Dali-esque imagery and Biblical references.. not your every day blues lyrics. But great stuff.

So here's a tale of fighting sharks with toothpicks and crawling across oceans turned to sand.. wow.

This was the very first track I recorded using my new Les Paul.. sticking with the neck pickup on this one, so it's pretty fat sounding. And I had Jeff Beck's 'Truth' album in the back of my head, so there's a little of that. I think it's a powerful piece of music and I hope you enjoy it.
