Felt compelled to create an account just to set the record straight for the clueless curmudgeon who "doesn't mean to nitpick", he just doesn't know what he's talking about ..
Red House is an original Jimi Hendrix song, which yes indeed "a million people cover", and all since 1967 in fact because that's when Jimi wrote and recorded it, so Buddy Guy wasn't just playing Red House, he was covering Jimi Hendrix.
Anyone who doesn't know that Bob Marley wrote I Shot The Sheriff needs to retire from listening to music, so I hope our erstwhile 'reviewer' above doesn't think that is also "an old blues standard".
