having double troubles

bad luck and trouble

itching like a fiend for this track to be played again.  it's no 4 on the list. what a perfect blend of lyrics to music. the air of quiet desperation stretching the notes to the breaking point. pun intended. 

something about it. perhaps it's the organ in the background laying down the mood for the guitar to rip on by. . or maybe its that fucking doleful baseline conjuring once upon a times.

glass full of small batch whiskey. hot humid air filled with Lucky toasted smoke. the constellations shining faintly with their wavering light.

legend willie dixon and otis rush dropped this joint in '58.  since then it's become a cornerstone in the blues genre, even inspiring texan native stevie ray vaughan to name his band after it.

the rendition picked out is rush and clapton together in 1986 live at the cathedral that is montreux.

 on the corner of chestnut and univ ave in west phila, the '04 marquis blasting eric claptons version while an order of chinese noodles are being cooked off a truck. two disenfranchised african americans in the drizzle step to the passenger side window and say, "that's good music right there youngster. this muthafuckin rain aint a god damn thing huh?"

stupid shit that make a persons day, both of us.
