adnan Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 (edited) I really like Wolf's vocal on the original as well as the one chord arrangement. I strongly dislike the much more famous Doors version, which was a 12-bar blues arrangement, I especially disliked the added lines that Morrison included in the song, which were a bit silly. But, the winner is Willie Dixon, he wrote the song for Howlin' Wolf who sang the original for his "Rockin' Chair Album", but he himself performed a funked up version and included it in a 1970 release. That version is by far my favorite. Edited July 29, 2006 by adnan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
