I was watching TV a couple weeks ago and this commercial came on with a catchy tune.
Eventually it came to me what the song was "Smoke Stack Lightening" by Howlin' Wolf.
He was born just outside West Point Mississippi about twenty five miles from where I live. Like many blues singers, he had a difficult childhood.
Youtube the song - see if you recognize the commercial.
