Okay, so where do we go from here? Goin’ Down.
Stevie Ray Vaughan & Jeff Beck covered Don Nix‘s “Going Down.”
I always thought it was a Freddie King song. So what else did Nix do? A lot.
From Wiki: Don Nix began his career playing saxophone for the Mar-Keys, which also featured Steve Cropper, Duck Dunn and others. The [1961] hit instrumental single “Last Night” (composed by the band as a whole) was the first of many successful hits to Nix’s credit. […] The Mar-Keys evolved into Booker T. & the M.G.’s.
What a convergence of talent at the right time and the right place. God Bless Stax Records.
Have a soulful weekend, folks, be back here tomorrow.
Back in the 90s, I heard this at a liquor store on the way home
from work. I loved this tune in my Yoot, but I could not
remember the name. When I got home, I called up the
oldies station that played it and asked the DJ “What was that
instrumental song you were playing 15 minutes ago?”
The DJ said “Last Night.” I replied, “No, tonight.” This went
on about three times before I got it. The station was famous
for airing humorous calls. This short version of Who’s on first,
caused me to stop listening to the station for months for fear
that I was going to hear myself making an ass of myself!

Heh. Funny story.
Rhino Records published a great CD series entitled “Rock Instrumental Classics.” Here’s one of them: Cliff Nobles’ “The Horse” from 1968.
