Cream — Stormy Monday

If you think someone is saying something inappropriate, you can ask them what they mean before getting angry.

@tomcy6 First, I’m not angry — I just merely said I take issue with the assertion that Clapton took “ownership” of the song, which is utter hogwash given many other bands/guitarists have covered this song. Second, and if you read my prior post, I clearly asked if that poster would care to clarify his words. If he wants to, fine. And if not, fine and he’s perfectly able to “get off the lawn.” I still take issue with the words he used initially.

I don't see what you're objecting you re: my comment about playing the tune as a I/IV/V, given that it was just an opinion. 

@stuartk Apparently he can have his opinions but you’re not entitled to yours — hypocrisy.  Good grief. 

Another one worth listening to is Clapton’s Crossroads 2 (Live in the Seventies) album.

One more that is stunning is the Cream album Royal Albert Hall London May 2-3-4-5-6 2005. My personal fave.

T-Bone Walker owns the song, but this is my go to version by Roomful Of Blues, Duke Robillard on the guitar.

If you like the RAH version of Stormy Monday, AND I DO, try Soulshine from Allman Bros Where It All Begins. The dueling duo of blues/rock guitars is amazing. First tune I played after my last upgrade and it still blows me away.
