3:32 the musicianship is sublime. I’m a 69 baby and love this type of music! As a club owner, we play this song and it echos through the speakers and touches every age group in the building and we’re in 2023!!!!! Says a lot about true music/musicianship!!!

@bigbass421
I'm a lifelong bassist..now 70 years old. This, is what it means to GROOVE! To play a ballad like this, and make it funky, requires superior musicianship. Every player on this track, just nails it. In the pocket all the way through, no speeding up, or dragging- the time-feel is just killer. AND, a not-simple at all arrangement...and Johnny Guitar Watson... just perfect. THIS is why I play music.
@MrBnnashton
JGW played all instruments except drums and horns. Even more impressive.
@shadowmixx
As a one-man band/producer, I too enjoy the groove of this classic. Cheers!
