I'll remember it for later, Charlie, cheers. :)


I'm sad that 'Crazy Love' doesn't have a single though.

The exception is "Cuttin' In," which has wonderful lyrics, sung perfectly. It's one of my favorite records.

That said, I prefer the earlier version.


Did he cut an earlier version, musky?? I never knew that.

Finally, authentic Blues!
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.
