This is a performance by Eric Clapton and Buddy Guy. They perform one of the most covered blues standards ever made. It was first recorded in 1941by Big Maceo as a mid-tempo 8-bar blues. Since then it's become one of the most covered songs in history, the list is almost endless.
What a list (source Wikipedia). I like this version though, Clapton singing and Buddy and Clapton doing solos and a nice piano solo as well. A really nice performance.
