Fenton Robinson - Somebody Loan Me A Dime - Original free for downloading

Yeah yeah the BLUES

Yuo.....one of the real deals...........though as a young guy I found the song through Duane Allman and Boz Scaggs........loves Fenton Robinsons Alligator albums. Makes my soul soar as do all of the Blues greats.....

Sweet tone and voice. Nice band.

Well any song Duane covered he owned. It is almost embarrassing when others try to play it. They should have changed the name of the Allman Brothers after Duane passed, it was never the same group. It is the same as if Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding hired a black guitarist and toured as the Jimi Hendrix experience. Statesborough Blues, One Way Out, Trouble No More, Done Somebody Wrong, Stormy Monday, and while it was not the Allman Brothers there BB King medley with the Hour Glass (I think) and the list goes on and on. After Duane played as a session guitarist at Muscle Shoals on hundreds of songs he developed one of the greatest ears in music, a master arranger who made every song he played on better. With Duane it is not the notes he plays, it is the notes he does not. Rest in peace Brother Duane.Boz Scaggs took credit as the author of this song on the original album and was sued and had to change it. Led Zepplin was one of the worst for taking credit for others work.

Fenton Robinson wrote this tune and first recorded it in 1967. Boz did in in 1969.

Baffles the fuck outta me how there as many as seven spastics out there that hit the dislike button.

I had the pleasure of seeing and meeting him in Oxford, Mississippi in the mid 80s. We talked and smoked Pall Malls a long time. We smoked the same brand. He was a modest humble guy. A great underrated artist.
