Dixon wrote a huge percentage of the great Chicago blues songs. I saw him only once, in a small club when he was maybe 70 years old. I worried Dixon would be too old to sound good. He started with this song, coming out immediately hitting this song hard, loud and fast. I still get chills remembering that.
