Whoa... No mention of Howlin' Wolf until Page 2?!?





The Stones refused to do the show unless Wolf also appeared.

This was a seminal moment for Blues in the US, as it was the 1st time most of the TV audience had ever seen an electric Blues performer. Many future musicians later acknowledged the importance of this moment in their musical evolutions.

Mr. Furry always thought it was funny as hell that skinny-assed white boys like myself adored him. His whiskey of choice was Ten High.

The correct title is “Casey Jones”.

The version by Mississippi John Hurt, recorded in 1928, is regarded by many as definitive. In his version, as in all such pieces, there are many (sometimes anachronistic) variants on the lyrics. Several older versions give Billy's last name as "De Lyons" or "Delisle".
