Robert Johnson is said to have come up with the opening riff, while Elmore James brought it to the electric slide guitar and subsequently perfected it; it's often thought to be the most well-known riff in all of Blues.
I recently bought a CD with artists from the 60's San Francisco music scene. This song was on there, along with On The Road Again and Spoonful. It’s not the studio version, though, and sounds amazing. I’m guessing it’s a live performance.
Canned Heat is likely one of the most underrated and unnoticed acts of that era.
This song was a cover.
