I’ve just listened again to Stormy Monday by Little Milton. I haven’t listened to it for ages. His voice, the guitar. It’s just wonderful, like getting into a warm bath. There is also an audacious one-note guitar solo to boot. It’s on YouTube and such if you’re interested.

Bon, la machine à remonter le temps, vous en êtes où les scientifiques ?

Incroyable programmation de l'Ellis Auditorium de Memphis, le 6/8/1965, avec en vedette #HoulinWolf.
L'homme du boogie #JohnLeeHooker arrivait en seconde position sur l'affiche au-dessus de son co-labellisé chez Vee-Jay Records, #JimmyReed, et le guitariste de soul-blues #LittleMilton. Le positionnement en bas d'affiche de #BigJoeTurner et de #TBoneWalker montre bien qu'ils n'avaient pas encore produit de hits. #blues

Sources for Jerry's playing style that are not recordings of Jerry: Well Little Milton working with the Stax crew here is a good example, of note is Milton's righteous second pass at the main solo, also the ridiculous vamp. It should all sound pleasantly familiar to Jerry Band fans!
