This is a blues classic by Jimmy
Reed that has been covered by countless acts over almost 60 years.
Interestingly, the words ‘Baby What You Want Me To Do’ never appeared in the
original version of the song. They were added in a subsequent recording in
place of ‘Baby why you wanna let go,’ to match the title.
Today I am going with the Elvis
cover version from his 1968 comeback special (50 years ago).
Today would have been his 83rd birthday (this was originally posted on January 8, 2018) so I thought this was a nice tribute. Elvis has left ‘the building’ but his legend lives on through hundreds of timeless cover versions of great songs.
Here is Etta James live from San Francisco. Just amazing.
We continue with the blues parade and Otis Rush from his 1978 release ‘Troubles, Troubles’.
Enjoy this live version by the Grateful Dead…
