Howlin' Wolf recorded the song in June 1960 in Chicago during the same sessions that produced "Back Door Man" and "Spoonful". Backing Howlin' Wolf on vocals are Otis Spann on piano, Hubert Sumlin on guitar, Dixon on bass, and Fred Below on drums. Freddy King has been identified as possibly a second guitarist. In 1961, Chess issued the song as the B-side to "Back Door Man"; neither song appeared on the record charts. Both songs are included on Howlin' Wolf's popular 1962 compilation album "Howlin' Wolf", also called "The Rockin' Chair Album", and many subsequent compilations.
