Apparently Rod Stewart’s first release
Not sure about some of the phrasing and that opening guitar line sounds a little stilted. Love the bass line tho’.
I also know that I wasn’t doing anything at all halfway that competent at the age of 18.

Ah, the good old days where ephebophiles were celebrated in song……..
The guitar intro is an adaptation of Sony Boy Williamson’s original harmonica (1937 recording here)

Steve Forbert wrote a jolly tune on the same subject.
The Rutles were bigger than Rod

When was this? ’64? Wonder who was playing on it? Jagger? Richards? Plant? They shared a lot of line-ups. This was pretty well Brit blues being invented.
Rod was doing something under the age of 18, apparently.
I was looking at what Mr Stewart,R & various other members of that circle were doing in that period. A lot of familiar places. Studio 51, Cousins, Marquee of course, The Troubadour, Bunjies in Lichfield Street (Lou who used to run it at the time lived in Gants Hill of all places. Later passed to Bert Jansch. I can remember Amory Kane, draft dodging Yank used to serve coffees in between singing/guitar sets. Lived upstairs in Powis Square. Heard he disappeared for good on the Afghanistan trail. )
Here’s a question. Anyone remember a cellar club in a street, just round the corner from the Old Brompton Road. Lot of bands played it. I think I’ve identified the locality on StreetView but all sign of it’s vanished. So’s the Blues Club in Russell Gardens, alas.
