Legendary Memphis bluesman Rosco(e) Gordon DID NOT give up the music business when he moved to Queens, NY in 1962 as stated on Wikipedia. Rosco made fewer records during the time he and his wife owned and operated a laundry business, but he also cut THIS- in my opinion his greatest ever side.
"You Got My Bait" has a haunting hook that just sticks in my head all day, along with some absolutely devastating vocals and piano from Rosco. Add the super snappy drumming (sounds like Bernard Purdie) and that KILLER twangy guitar and VOILA! An incendiary record.
from 1966...

This sounds great but wondered if anyone can help here? Do I have to sign up for a Divshare account to download nowdays as although I can get a listen to the music any attempt to download takes me to a signing up page. Or am I missing something?

I love Rosco G. but I dislike DivShare, which has gone and removed the ability to download again. Back to MediaFire (please!) W.
Now I on the other hand, LOVE the OTHER side, Jesse JAmes, which I covered in one of my bands. Where were you when I needed you, looking for EITHER side for the last 5 years?
Excellent song, thanks for digging it up! Unfortunately, the link doesn't work.
you forgot to link the mp3 :-(
Very cool - thank you!

sadly no download link...
Derek,
Cursor doesn't change when placed over the grey song title; doesn't seem to allow for a download.
Can you please see if somethings amiss with this one?
(all other seem to download just fine).
Thanks!
relax, people it's back up and running.
Thanks for fixing! W.
Killer stuff. It would be great to hear more from this lesser-known period of Roscoe's if you have any. Thanks much.
That's a great track indeed Derek!
People lamenting for download are so boring! Just listen and dig the music and stop bothering Derek.
He made such a wonderful job out there. Thank him instead of complaining because you can't suck the music like a vampire!
If you're a real music lover, visit flea market, record shop, buy it and dig the sides on vinyl!
