I'll be honest... I just hit up the youtube machine when the song came on my ipod and I snagged the first Mannish Boy link I could find since I was driving and trying to avoid focusing on my phone so much while doing 80. So maybe it's just fitting that it was a Goodfellas version that appeared.
I posted a lot of his stuff earlier in this thread. Love Knopfler.
Great Tune. Res Dogs was amazing. Tarartino has a fabulous touch when it comes to picking the music for scenes in his movies.Not really mafia, but this is from a crime movie. Reservoir Dogs is one of my favorite flicks, and it has one of my favorite songs of all time.

The George Baker Selection - Little Green Bag
Some info, if you care...
The lyrics are actually "Little Greenback". If you pay attention to the lyrics, every line is aimed to rhyme with "back", not "bag".
Lookin back. On a track. For a little greenback. And if you listen closely, it's pretty obvious he's actually singing it as "greenback".
But the single was misinterpreted by the label and they wrote it up as "Little Green Bag". The song became a hit before the album was released, so the band renamed the album to reflect the error. The cover even featured the band holding a green bag.

So the song was about money (greenback). But was interpreted as marijuana (green bag).
I feel I've written this all down before - so if this is a duplicate, I apologize.
Nice, I like it. Man that kid looks young.
That's fucking awesome. You can definitely hear Zep in there. I've never heard that before.
He became an official member of The Allman Brothers in 1999. He is Butch Trucks nephew (Allman Brothers drummer). Highly rated guitarist by those that know of him. Completely unknown by the majority of the population.
When the album came out (before I'd even heard it) they announced JPJ was going on tour. I had to see him LIVE as Zeppelin is my favorite band. JPJ played at a place called Rock N Docks, general admin so got there early, was right dead center front row looking up at him. I was in shock, his guitar work was sublime. Jones never got much credit for how good he is on guitar because of Jimmy being Jimmy. It was so out there and amazing. Highlight of the night for me was Nobodies Fault But Mine. He played slide guitar part from the song AND did all Plant's lyrics in slide simultaneously.
love me some stevie ray.. back in middle school.. this new kid showed up and his pops was doyle bramhall.. of course back then we were all into ozzy and doyle jr played a mean rendition of randy rhoads/ozzy's crazy train back middle school.. talk about mind blown.
