Poor boy, I’m a long way from home
Poor boy, I'm a long way from home
World gonna do me no
Babe, I can't stay here long
No, no, no
Poor boy, I’m a long way from home
Where the world can't do me no
Poor boy, I'm a long way from home
Poor boy, I'm a long way from home
Poor boy, I'm a long way from home
Where the world can't do me no
No GTO, that would be a Pontiac and didn't have those tail lights. That is a def an 1970 Oldsmobubble Cutlass, looking at the CD cover the logo on the right is "Cutlass", whereas the 442 would have...erm..."442".
kewl blues riff there. At 9 for now, no less than 8.
Death traps both of them...
This tune is an unsubtle ripoff of a tune on R.L. Burnside's live album, "Burnside on Burnside," I think named Snake Drive. Burnside does it better. (The whole album is dynamite.)
While Poor Boy, Long Ways From Home is a traditional blues song that has been around since at least 1900, the album credits this version to R.L. Burnside. (Howlin' Wolf also recorded it in 1957).
The whole Delta Kream album consists of covers, most by R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough. Kenny Brown, Burnside's guitarist even plays on the album.
fyi that car on album cover may be a 442, gto, or cutlass

It's pretty much a standard, one-chord, up-tempo, blues shuffle that sounds similar to hundreds of other songs. They're not trying to create a new music form with this, just paying homage to people like John Lee Hooker, Willie Dixon, and other old blues masters.
Akron, OH is less of "The Blues" and more of "Clinical Depression".
As someone who was born in Akron, I probably should feel some resentment about your comment. But no. Akron is, after all the Buckle of the Goiter Belt!
hurray!!!
somebody remembers how to play RnR

I heard once that Led Zeppelin ripped off some Muddy Waters riffs. Know anything about that?

If you call it a tribute it sounds less negativ.

So when was "blues" not ripped off? Better have a drink or two and calm down!
These guys have gotten completely boring for me.
Agreed.... It's all starting to sound the same to me.

That's the way I feel about your mom.
Done their homework I'd say. These folks are pretty good at adopting or absorbing the general sounds of recognizable influences and transforming them into something new.
Totally agree! The only portion of this song that let me know it was The Black Keys was Auerbach's vocals. Most excellent!
I'm liking it!
