This has always been my favorite version of this old Ma Rainey Blues tune...

^Gentleman Jim McCarty rippin' the guitar solos.


Mitch Ryder did a number of those dual-tune cuts.
(Jenny Take A Ride/C.C. Rider, Too Many Fish in the Sea/Three Little Fishes)

Probably my favorite...



...Devil With a Blue Dress/Good Golly Miss Molly (without the annoying radio edit at the 2:32 mark)

Saw them do this live at one of those Murray The K shows when this single was hot.
Chicks charging the stage, screamin', rippin' your boy's shirt off...Pandemonium!


MR released a decent "Prints" cover in '83 (video features exotic dancer Kitten Natividad)...



...When You Were Mine



Music for adventurous listeners

Kool, I hadn't seen that version of "If You Were Mine"--Thanks!!

Must've been something to be at Those "Murray the K" Shows! I can't even conceive of anybody trying anything like that again....great moment in time....
