Commentsby Cyril Davies Blues Allstars. Recorded in London. An original PYE Recording, released by arrangement. "As I recall it, this was the first solid British blues single released on the market. It featured Cyril Davies' superb harmonica work which was heavily influenced by both Sonny Boy Williamson and Sonny Terry. Davies did record other sides at this early date but none have ever been released to my knowledge. The only other sides featuring Cyril's work were made for Decca with Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated. Sadly, Cyril died some six years ago." - Mike Vernon

Classic Oldie!
Review written by D.J. Regan, June 9th, 2006

I first found this single on the old Pye RnB label back in the 60's when I was a young lad in Bristol. I loved it from the outset but no-one else did. Now I'm a mobile DJ and I have to play this classic oldie sometimes. It doesn't sound so wierd in the 21st Century so it must have been ahead of its time- a rare five stars from me!
