I've been reading about this lady for over twenty years in various guitar publications, but never heard her until now. I wasn't disappointed. This lady is the real deal. This is the epitome of musicianship. One lady sitting down with just an acoustic guitar and her voice. These young fly-by-nights could certainly learn something about perseverance and longevity from this lady. And also about staying true to one's self, instead of forsaking your vision just to sell records.
I stood at a blues festival with a man I love and heard this song for the first time. I was dying inside with the truth before I heard the song. I did'nt let him go. He left me for the bottle. :) Such a truth ... such a waist... Rory, you are such a beautiful lady...
Her timing is so spot on! I've seen her live just once, in a nearly empty venue, in Groningen. I'll never forget that. Just her, her guitar and a handful of fanboys standing against the podium nearly drooling... just because we were mesmerized by her performance really! I learned since then that timing of the lyrics never had to be straight on but words can freely wonder over the bars and measures of the music. Something I already did but felt a bit insecure about when I started out singing (as a 16 yo) Thank you Rory!
I search for great songs and once in a while I find one. This one stopped me dead in my tracks this morning. WOW is all I got. Rory is so fantastic I can't believe I never heard this one.
I'm sorry to have been missing out on Rory all this time. Like others say in the previous comments, I sat here with chills. Please, Ms. Block, make your way to southern California for a show or two. I'll be there! ❤
really love this song, for the musical sound, i love jammin on my LP with ya Rory, love the version on a cd i bought some 15-17 years ago, called "Still got the blues" and soon after i bought "Still got the blues 2"
Good... really really good... I have to admit that the original is the best, ever, in spite I love Anouk's voice, Rory gives feeling on another level, it's HER song.
but just remember that, that choice of following the bottle's got some feeling behind that he or she cant get out/ talking bout it, and maybe to difficult to open up. just keep that in mind. sinsirely miksedk
My Dear friend, my teacher, my mentor. Rory is the greatest lady.

So true !

I could sing this tune about my ex wife! Better to be alone than with an addict... First heard Rory 35 years ago... Love it all.

This is great!! Beautiful voice, good guitar playing, great lyrics and the interpertation of the the song is awsom. Very underestimated.

An achievement....I'm completely upset by this powerful blues woman.
The woman is damn good

Whiskey mine cat loves it,
Rotten commercial preceding her song. Goes straight out of my favourites because of that.
love this lady! would love to be in a bar with her and endlessly flowing red wine :D
Great
Wow!
@1robyn1 bless your heart.
but just remember that, that choice of following the bottle's got some feeling behind that he or she cant get out/ talking bout it, and maybe to difficult to open up. just keep that in mind.

@cocochanelleke Wat een bullshit
I like anouks cover better sorry!
Anouks version is good but if you really FEEL music then Rory's original version is unbeatable.
