Mick writes:

Here's a version of, I think, a very underrated Little Walter song, written by Al Duncan. The original is given a 'My Babe' type arrangement - maybe that's why it gets ignored compared to its famous sibling.

But I think it's a great little song - the lyrics just flow along. A dark tale of a friend gone wrong. My representation of a 45 for the artwork might be a bit over the top, but I think it suits the mood.

Mick Clarke - Too Late Brother Ain't no need-a goin' no further, brother
Ain't no need-a goin' no further, man
Told you back in sixty - five you had better quit that jive
Ain't no need-a goin' no further, man

Ain't no need-a goin' no further, brother
Ain't no need-a goin' no further, man
You thought you was pretty slick, y' takin' everybody's chick
Ain't no need-a goin' no further, brother

Ain't no need-a goin' no further, brother
Ain't no need-a goin' no further, man
You had diamonds and Cadillac cars
Tourin' the world and settin' up bars
Ain't no need-a goin' no further, now

Ain't no need-a goin' no further, brother
Ain't no need-a goin' no further, man
Your money's gone and your health is bad
You lost everythin' you had
Ain't no need-a goin' no further, now

No, ain't no need-a goin' no further, brother
