Howlin' Wolf, 1964, and the great Hubert Sumlin (y'know he's still alive?) making with the thirds, in there with the horn section.
If I'd folla'd my first mind...
The Tarbox Ramblers! OK, these guys have been around for ten years at least; I used to go see 'em at the Green Street Grill in Central Square, Cambridge, on Thursday nights back then. Live, they're fantastic. Or were. Haven't gotten around to seeing them recently.
So anyway, this is the best St. James Infirmary I've heard. Can't remember who wrote "Oh Death" (not Ralph Stanley; this is a different song), but I'm lazy these days so the hell with it. These are from their indispensible first album. The second album is less great IMHO.
