john hiatt & the goners - riding with the king (live-2000-ish?) B.B. & Clapton's cover was good, but

It's not better than John's original ... esp. not when played live with the legendary Sonny Landreth ripping it up on the Slide (or Ry Cooder on the studio version)!

I never heard this (live) version - Sonny slays the slide part, and John is in fine voice as well.

We ain't quite twins Mr.L, but we do seem to be, musically at least, cousins who favor.
