I like this version better too, but I never thought it would be your
favorite Aladdin record.

Yep first heard both "Chicken Shacks" in the late 60's and tho both are
very good this one is the best IMO. Its been a top favorite ever since

Great record, but it's not on Aladdin. Save it for your Specialty list.

My bad! I forgot he switched to Specialty on this one after a couple of
years with Aladdin. Move everything below it up a place and make the new
#25 "Waiting And Drinking" by this next guy..........

Did not know this until Diane and I went to Memphis and heard it at the
R&B museum there. And yes, they left the second e off of Beale on the
label.

I can't recall if I knew this one before you mentioned it on here but
its likely that you put me on to it. And yea I knew about the "Beale"
mis-spelling  especially somewhere I have a pic of me standing under the
street sign in Memphis
