Has had so many greats [ Clapton, Cooder) that wanted to play with him in his time. Shows his greatness. Love the blues genre.

Interesting. The YouTube detail says this was recorded in '67.
I thought the beginning of the slide solo after the 2nd verse sound familiar.
I went back & listened to the Allman's version at The Filmore. That's from '71
Duane's solo starts off pretty much the sane.
I wonder if Duane heard JED's version and decided to emulate it.
