   Great track!

   However, I’ve got a minor correction: It may be on the 1998 compilation, but its first appearance was on JLH’s 1989 album of the same name. That’s where this video comes from (the album’s cover is a frame from this vid).

   If you don’t have it, go get it; it’s worth having. Bonnie Raitt, Charlie Musselwhite, Cesar Rosas, David Hidalgo, George Thorogood, and Robert Cray all make appearances, too.

   Thanks for your ongoing coverage of the judicial system in my home state, btw. I left Mississippi long ago, but I’m glad someone’s shining a light there.

   meeting JLH after a show at the channel in boston ,10 nov 1989, was one of the highlights and heartbreaks of my musical life. i loved the show JLH was in GREAT form.

   we had a nice little conversation for a minute (prob. where i gushed a gallon of praise), the i asked for an autograph. it was excruciating watching him write his name, but he did it w/o complaint. he was very gracious.
