A perfect "potboiler"; a song that follows an extant formula but works oh-so-well in conveying the feeling and desperation of the lyrics. While it may sound very similar to many other songs in this type of uptempo bluesy vein, something about this one (perhaps the impassioned delivery) sets it out among the crowd to these ears. Sounds more like 1963 or so to me, but seemingly this catalog number places it earlier.
from 1960...
