This is not actually the sub standard version, but the best and most laid back version. Its all a matter of opinion, isn't it! I don't know why the uploader said 1951 in the title line, you need to know your SBW recording history a bit better (and just the development of the sound, and the arrangements and instrumentation, as the 1950s moved on through the decade). About 5 or 6 seconds listening to a blues should enable you to pin down the recording period to within a year or two. The classic backing musicians like Otis Spann and Robert Jr are so distinctive.

sub standard lower tempo version. Sonny Boy could make this song really jump. But not here.

This is *not* the cut recorded on January 4, 1951. That had Willie Love (piano), Elmore James and Joe Willie Wilkins (guitars) and Joe Dyson (drums).This is "Born Blind," recorded September 1, 1957 with Otis Spann's distinctive piano, Robert Jr. Lockwood and Luther Tucker (guitars), Willie Dixon (bass) and Fred Below (drums).
