confessin' the blues...

and the spider and the fly.
Confessin" The Blues is an old standard covered by the best of them: Jay Mcshann, Little Walter, Chuck Berry et al.
Over all in terms of  musicality and clarity of production the rolling stones version stand out above the rest.
It contains clear arpeggios, precise ornamentation around the note and exciting and imaginative flurries and fills.
this is music at its very best.
The stones version is in G and as many harmonica players know this is the key that is used in most beginners instruction books for cross harping an harmonica in the key of C.
Spider and The Fly is an original in the key of E and every tyro can practice those initial chops on this one and get up to speed.
