B-side of Angel Child. Later also as Every Day I Have The Blues.
Covers:
Lowell Fulson [first cover as Every Day I Have The Blues]
Joe Williams [idem]
Count Basie [with Joe Williams]
B.B. King [who gave Lowell Fulson's version lots of airplay as a DJ and asked permission to record his Three O'Clock Blues in return (see there)]
Bobby Bland [with B.B. King]
Eric Clapton [at Hyde Park]
Charles Brown [all as Every Day I Have The Blues]
Van Morrison & Joey Defrancesco [as Every Day I Have The Blues]
There's a Pine Top Aaron Sparks recording of a 1935 Every Day I Have The Blues, with a similar melody, but different lyrics (Bluebird). Was that the reason Memphis Slim changed the title?
