Where does this version of Red House rank with other Red House covers?

by cover, I mean someone other than Jimmy attempting to do Jimmy's song....

RED HOUSE WAS NOT A JIMI HENDRICKS SONG!!!


he learned it from Muddy Waters, who learned it from Son House and Charlie Patterson, who picked it up somewhere from someone..that song is as old as the hills....

The best version of "Red House" is the one Hendrix did at the Isle of Wight festival in 1970 just before he died.

That really good, but I still like Jimi's better.

Buddy Guy and Albert King both give pretty competitive readings to the song, as well.

SON HOUSE greatest ever.

It's a John Lee Hooker song.

This is a great version, Its a little more flashy that Jimis but Gary moore has always been a favorite of mine from back in Thin Lizzy Days, When he started doing blues i was thrilled.
