Runaway Slide Video - Catfish Blues (Cover)

Hi,

Another video that we wanted to share with you is our rendition of Catfish Blues that was recorded at the Trois-Rivières en Blues festival back in August 2009.

This song was first recorded by a little known African-American blues singer/guitarist known at Robert Petway in 1941. Later, Muddy Waters used the lyrics and style of "Catfish Blues" for his first single "Rollin' Stone", the song from which the band The Rolling Stones chose their name from. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Petway)

It was later redone by Jimi Hendrix which is the version that influenced this performance. Oh, there's a drum solo at 3:18.




Thank-you for watching.
