I just got this one on vinyl. Such a good record. Snatch it back and hold it for me.

Weird results. I forgot to vote, but Snatch It Back.. is the only song on here I don't love. If I wanna listen to James Brown I'll listen to James Brown
Wells is probably my favorite a harp player. Love those rhythmic grunts in between blowing and drawing! Such a strange, awesome sound.
I'm actually not a tremendous Buddy Guy fan but I love him on here. Sorta wish he'd kept playing this way (rhythmic, supportive but still creative) but he was probably too good to stay in the shadows for long
Always weird to me to read reviews of this record that don't mention the Leslie (or that mention the effect but get it wrong--I even saw a review that called it "reverb"--d'oh!). It's not exactly a sound you hear every day (especially not on a blues record from '65!)
I wanna buy the 2xLP 45rpm pressing of this record but it's pricey. I only own this on CD though. Anyone heard the LP reissue?

Snatch It Back is so much more than a cheap JB facsimile, or even if it is - it is one that is fucking great!

I mean, I like it, of course - I have a pulse, after all! - and I didn't say it was a "cheap" facsimile, just that, to me, it really doesn't represent the greatness of this record. It feels like the song you play to convert someone who "doesn't like blues" or something.
Anyway, what an amazing record. Just talking about it makes me want to listen to it.
