Ok, gotta a newbie question here for ya. Is Big Walter's "Back Home To Mama" the same song as Sonny Boy's "Bring It On Home"? I have the BWH song on a blues compliation CD and during some surfing, yes at work shhhh!, I found the www.island.net/~blues web page. And on that page had about a 20 second .wav file of "Bring It On Home", which sounded very familiar to me. And sure enough, playing the beginnings together, they sounded almost identical. Is or was this a common thing in the biz? Now days it seems everyone is sueing everyone for song rights etc. Another one I found off the same page was John Lee Williamson's "Good Morning, School Girl" is covered by Jonny Lang on his "Lie To Me" CD,though in a quite differnt form. I know some of this stuff may seem basic, but I'm actually finding it encouraging listening to enough blues to identify some of these similarities and things. Ok, that's all for now, back to work. :o(
Thanks Jared Matio
