Joskus biisit kehittyvät matkan varrella, kuten päivän klassikona soiva ‘Statesboro Blues’. Alkuperäinen sävellys on jo vuodelta 1928 ja se on Blind Willie McTell:n käsialaa. Vuonna 1967 bluesmies Taj Mahal teki siitä oman versionsa. Tästä intoutuneena The Allman Brothers Band teki vuonna 1971 oman versionsa, joka soi tänään klassikkona. The Allman Brothersien versio on rankattu Rolling Stone lehden “100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time” -listalla sijalle yhdeksän.
Sometimes songs grow better along the path, as it happened for today’s classic. This old blues song was written and recorded by Blind Willie McTell as early as 1928. At 1967 Taj Mahal made his own, updated version of the song. Few years later The Allman Brothers Band made their version based on Taj Mahal’s version and the rest is history. The Allman Brothers Band’s version of the ‘Statesboro Blues‘ is ranked as the ninth best guitar song by Rolling Stone at their “100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time“.
