I Woke Up This Morning
Looks like this is going to be a Ten Years After weekend, out of sheer ennui:
This is what Clapton was trying to do at the time, but his fingers weren't fast enough, and his vocals sucked. Strange how so many Brits born in the 40's wanted to be incarcerated black men on the Parchman Farm in Jim Crow Mississippi.
I'm a big Ten Years After fan, saw them twice in LA while in high school, once at Forum and once at Hollywood Palladium. If you have not given Joe Bonamassa a listen, you definitely should. He covers many songs from TYA's era, including a version of One of These Days, plus Clapton (who recently appeared on stage with him at Royal Albert Hall), Hendrix, Jethro Tull, and even Yes. He's his own guitarist, though. My current favorite is "Blue and Evil".

Alvin Lee is one of the fellahs who would be allowed to play at my bar up the country, Big Tin Cup.
Weekend's over now.
