The Complete Cobra Sessions
People, watching the news on TV has given me the blues. It's that bad luck and trouble. They say you can make it if you try. Double Trouble, this is how I feel right now, and I'm sure there are a whole lot of you who feel the same way.
"I lay awake at night with thoughts of love, just so troubledFrom Otis Rush - I Can't Quit You Baby (The Blues Collection Vol.19) - 05 - Double Trouble
It is hard to keep a job, laid off, having double trouble
But hey hey yeah,
they say you can make it if you try,
Yes, some of this generation is millionares,
it's hard for me to keep decent clothes to wear
Your love has got me walking baby
and I have no place to go
Bad luck and trouble taken me
I have no money to show
But, hey hey to make it you've got to try
Baby that's no lie
Yes, some of this generation is millionares,
it is hard for me to keep decent clothes to wear"
Otis Rush and Eric Clatpon "Double Trouble"

The Rush-Clapton vid is blues heaven to me. I'm glad you post this stuff, because there is more out there than I could ever find or listen to, Mr. F.
Man, the Otis Rush Cobra recordings just do it for me completely. I am certain that Peter Green had those recordings memorized, as did Jimmy Page. Of course, SRV payed tribute to the man by naming his band after this song too.
The combo of Otis' pain-drenched vocals and Ike Turner's whammy-bar guitar tricks set the bar that others still aim for.
