It's one of those musical moments I'll never forget. I was 16. After hearing Nick Cave's "The Firstborn Is Dead", I'd decided I liked the blues (or maybe the blooze, as Nick would have had it.) I bought a cheapo Elmore James comp (10 tracks per side) from Plato Plaaten in Leiden and this was the first track. The voice and guitar just came BOOMING out of the speakers. I remember being genuinely taken aback. Loved it ever since...
