I had never heard Etta James do this one before. A variation on the 12 bar blues format* where the band starts on the turnaround and Etta comes in with her vocals on the I chord. Jimmy Rogers (the Black Jimmy Rogers) originally recorded the tune back in the early 50s. Thanks for posting it, Van.

* The lyrics within the verses aren't phrased the same as the lyrics in a standard 12 bar blues (first verse, repeat first verse, turnaround verse).
