Young Man Blues is a song by jazz artist Mose Allison.[1] Allison'stwo-CD compilation set of 2002, Allison Wonderland reveals that the tune's full title is: Back Country Suite: Blues (a.k.a. 'Young Man's Blues'). The tune was famously covered by The Who during live sets - first appearing on their album Live At Leeds. Another live performance features in the movie and soundtrack for The Kids Are Alright, from a performance at the London Colosseum. The song was included in Rock Band 2 as downloadable content. The tune is also found on Chris Spedding's 2009 reissued album One Step Ahead Of The Blues, where in the liner notes Spedding states he was trying make a version, which was how he imagined Allison originally recorded it; having never heard it. Spedding's blues rock version is quite different from either the Allison's jazz-blues or The Who's rock versions. It has also been covered live by Joe Bonamassa, the Foo Fighters [2] and The Bright Light Social Hour.[3]
