Who sings these lyrics??"BABY PLEASE DON'T GO, BABY
SEFNER
please, Baby please don't go."
I know that Van Morrison redid it with Albert Collins, I think. I would
like to know who did it originally, and who does a rockin remake?!!
Thanx for any help,

The song was written by "Big" Joe Williams, a blues singer/guitarist
(I think during his 1935-1941 Bluebird recordings) who by the way was
playing a 9-string guitar. The most well known version is the one by
Them (1964 I think), when Van Morrison was a (*the*) member of the
group. This version also was in the soundtrack of Good Morning Vietnam.

I don't know who did it originally, as I think it's pretty much a blues
standard, but I *do* know that Van Morrison originally sung it while he
was a member of "Them", in the 60s.

Not sure who did it originally, but Van the Man certainly recorded it
with Them, and about the same time Ted Nugent's band, The Amboy Dukes,
recorded it on an album called (I think) Journey to the Center of the
Mind.

Ted Nugent has a pretty rockin remake that is on the "Great Gonzos - Best of Ted
Nugent" album. It is a live version, and may be on a live album of his as well.

The original was written by the man who brought electricity to the blues,
Mr. Muddy Waters.

Lightning Hopkins MAY be the originator, but it's hard to be sure with a
lot of old blues tunes. His version went:
Baby please don't go,
baby please don't go,
baby please don't go down to New Orleans,
you know I love you so,
baby please don't go.
Ten Years After does a great cover of it. (On the Woodstock soundtrack ?
or is it on a Ten Years After live album? )
Sorry for the uncertainty, I haven't dug through my old vinyl collection
lately.

I know that Muddy Waters did the original. I also know that Roy Rodgers
(a fairly new blues player) did a real rockin' version of the same
song. I guess Roy is not really new, but he only has a few albums out and
I don't remember which one has the cut on it. If I do remember I will get
the name of it to you.

I'm a big fan of Albert but didn't know he'd done this with Van. Was it in
the last few years of his life?
The possible answer is the first answer I ever posted on a newsgroup -
surprisingly, only last October - it seems like years!
Here's that article:

Someone was asking a while ago who wrote the brilliant "Baby Please Don't Go".
According to the Radio One rockumentary "Paul Gambaccini's appreciation of Van
Morrison" which was broadcast to the UK last winter, Van Morrison recorded the
song believing it to have been written by John Lee Hooker and Them's recording
was based on Hooker's arrangement. And Gambo continued, "The song was in fact
written by Big Joe Williams."
That's all I know, but I hope it helps.

: written by Williams - Muddy Water sang it live in 1976
: Baby, Please Dont't Go
: I have a copy on
: Muddy Waters - Chicago Blues (the blues collection no 11)
The Van Morrison version was with Them - their (Their?) first single
c1965. Dunno about Albert Collins, a more likely session guitarist
(who is alleged to have played on Gloria) is Jimmy Page.

I don't think so. The THEM CD credits the song to veteran Mississippi

Oh yah. That was for Labour of Love. By "Mazzy's cool tune" I assume you
mean "Fade Into You," which is also excrutiatingly easy. They play it in root
position: A, E, Bm. Use a D during the last bit of the chorus. An slightly
easier method is capo on 2, then G, D, Am ... C on the chorus ... and this is
only easier in the sense that you don't have to play any *gasp* barre chords.
It really sounds better w/o the capo.
Hope I've helped :)

in good Chicago style blues bands play instead of trivial triads or 7-th
chords. I couldn't figure out anything.
My question is : There has to be some kind of blues-jazz chords, standard ones
Does anybody know the names or finger positions ? Please .
To give you a better idea on what I'm talking about, consider this:
In standard blues progression it sounds good to replace the IV chord by
IV - 9. In the key of A it means instead of D play D-9 :
---5-
---5-
---5-
---4-
---5-
-----
So , any suggestions about the other chords ? And I'm not talking about substi-
tuting a parallel minor chords and stuff like that. Jazz chords, that's my ques
tion.
Thanks.

I once photocopied a few pages from a BB King book, which contained
a *lot* of progressions that he uses - incl. 9 chords, minors,
modulations, Gospel-like progressions in a blues context etc.
There can't be that many books about him, so check them out.
I think that is what you want, unless you want the more Delta-like
progressions of I, #Vmaj7-7, V7, I or I, I7, I6, I+5, I and variations
of chromatically descending sixths, thirds or tritones
or even the notes I, III, IV, #IV, V played along with:
I',bVII, VI, #V, V.
Hope this helps, Arne D H

I just downloaded a hypertext book called *A Jazz Improvisation Primer*,
my Marc Sabatella, from
http://www.acns.nwu.edu/jazz/ms-primer/
and it clearly addresses not only the chord backgrounds but also soloing,
using particular scales with specific contexts, rhythym, and a lot more.
You need a Web browser such as Mosaic or a friend with one. It looks
like an excellent overall starter for the type of thing you mentioned.
