Got to have something
« on: February 06, 2013, 05:02:14 PM »
of course the song has the same pattern as Muddy Waters' rollin' and tumblin.
But I was listening this morning NHB at Ronnie scott on July 13th 1999, and when I heard "Meet me at the bottom", I think that Mark was rather more inspirated by this song than the Muddy Waters one.
anyway, it's the same pattern, an ususal one in blues music, but the rhythm is closer

"Can't Be Satisfied" is in the same vein too!   :)

All these kinds of songs sound the same!  That's why they're fun to listen to but have no long-lasting appeal or originality.

I believe the first recorded version of Rollin' & Tumblin' was by Hambone Willie Newbern in 1929, so it has survived in all it's various versions very well!   ;)   As you say they are fun!   ;D

in the same vein, yes but not exactly the same pattern

rollin, meet me...,and got to have... have exactly the same chords structure, and same rhythm, and same melody too  :)

So I'd say they are closer than other blues tunes, but of course many blues tunes sounds "the same"

Very true and hence very thought provoking because it's basically mediocre imo... :think

I also mentioned how much alike are the songs "Beyond here lies nothin'" by Bob Dylan  and "All your love" by John Mayall's bluesbreakes.
