I'd like to do a song now inspired by the late, great Jimmy Reed. I wrote it, but it just sounds like one of his, only not as good. Neil Young Cocoanut Grove, Santa Cruz, California, USA November 3, 1987, Early Show

The Flamingo [the Flamingo Club in Fort William] eventually put us [the Squires] up at the Victoria Hotel, and I was writing a lot of songs for the gig there. We were going Jimmy Reed–style big-time because I loved Jimmy and knew that kind of music would be perfect for the club. I wrote a couple of R&B songs in that vein right away, “Find Another Shoulder” and “Hello Lonely Woman,” at the hotel. I wrote a lot more then, too. One older song that was the same type of beat was resurrected. It was called “Ain’t It the Truth.” These tunes were all R&B-based and we did a good job on them. Neil Young Waging Heavy Peace Sept 2012
