I recall hearing this tune years ago and working out a decent version for me, playing it at this nice little yuppie bar where I was hired. Up until this tune folks were most receptive. But these lyrics left people stunned : "Is he *really* talking about killing someone ? With a *razor* ? I mean, this sounds so premeditated..." When I was finished, they made not a sound, so I went on to the next tune. I never forgot that moment, and I suppose I should be glad that I had that intense an effect on a group of people with just a song, It is a rather intense blues song after all :) Thank you, Lonnie Johnson.
That's not true. Check out Nathan James from Carlsbad. He just released an album with this song! nathandjames.com/home/blog/two-new-cd-s-to-be-released-october-28th
