...from NW Indiana did a wonderful version of this song.
Ray had the right voice & Marty was a very good guitar player who had a similar style to SRV.
They were the perfect band to cover his stuff.
My wife & I were at Alpine to see SRV & Clapton the night SRV died.
Got home around 2:30am; woke up at around 8; put on WGN morning news & heard he had been killed in the crash. We had seen him just 8 hours before!

Alpine is just down the road from me. I still remember that morning clearly.
