I posted a showcase of this song last week including notable band covers by the Allman Brothers, Taj Mahal & Ry Cooder's Rising Sons and Sea Level with Charlie Daniels. While the song is often attributed as "traditional", many musicologists trace it to this 1928 recording of Blind Willie McTell (born William Samuel McTier in 1898), who claimed he composed the song. In it, he pronounces his name as "Papa" Mac Tell. He also performed under the monikers Blind Sammie, Georgia Bill, Hot Shot Willie, Blind Willie, Barrelhouse Sammy, Pig & Whistle Red, Blind Doogie, Red Hot Willie Glaze, Red Hot Willie and Eddie McTier. He played with a fluid, syncopated fingerstyle guitar technique, although, unlike his contemporaries, he came to use twelve-string guitars exclusively. McTell was also an adept slide guitarist, unusual among ragtime bluesmen of the day. His vocal style was a smooth and often laid-back tenor which differed greatly from many of the harsher voice types employed by Delta bluesmen. Bob Dylan paid tribute to McTell in his 1983 song, "Blind Willie McTell"; the refrain of which is, "And I know no one can sing the blues, like Blind Willie McTell". McTell embodied a variety of musical styles, including hokum, which I'll discuss later when the kids are in bed.

Rabbit rarely records mainstream, and a lot of chumps beat him up on the internet, but FREE said he was the man and the Who still uses him on keys and some vocals.

"Ventilator Blues" is a song featured on the Rolling Stones' 1972 release Exile on Main Street. It marks the first and only time guitarist Mick Taylor would be given credit alongside regular Stones scribes Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, even though the exact amount of Taylor's input is unknown. The song features Keith Richards on electric slide guitar, electric and acoustic guitar and Mick Taylor on lead guitar during the outro of the song.

The song itself is a low and lumbering blues number, with Bill Janovitz saying in his review, "the instrumental arrangement clearly aims for the Chess Studios approach." Notable is Jagger's double tracked lead vocal, double tracking being rarely used in the Rolling Stones discography. Janovitz concludes, "Jagger takes the Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf inspiration of the song's origins and does his best to betray the fact that he is a skinny middle-class English kid, convincingly delivering the time-bomb lyric with appropriate swagger..."
When your spine is cracking and your hands they shake; Heart is bursting and your butt's going to break; Woman's cussing, you can hear her scream; Feel like murder in the first degree ... Ain't nobody slowing down no way; Everybody's stepping on their accelerator; Don't matter where you are; Everybody's going to need a ventilator."
” On pianist Nicky Hopkins notable contribution, Janovitz says, "(Hopkins plays) a rhythmically complex piano part on the verses, weaving in and out of the swooping guitar lick on the first verse and then building as the arrangement continues, playing nervous, jittery right-handed upper-register trills. The pianist creates scary tension on an already claustrophobic and malevolent-sounding song." The song is noted for its rising and falling chord progression, punctuated by the saxophone of Bobby Keys and the trumpet and trombone of Jim Price. Keeping beat is Charlie Watts on drums and Bill Wyman on bass who, although frequently absent during the recording sessions for "Exile", made it on this occasion.

Recording on "Ventilator Blues" began in late 1971. The Stones chose to record the majority of the song deep in the poorly ventilated basement of Richards' home in the south of France, Villa Nellcôte. A well-known feature of the songs recorded in that basement was the tendency of the heat to distort the guitar's strings and the close atmosphere lending the songs a distinct, albeit undefined, sound. Richards said, "On 'Ventilator Blues' we got some weird sound of something that had gone wrong - some valve or tube that had gone. If something was wrong you just forgot about it. You'd leave it alone and come back tomorrow and hope it had fixed itself. Or give it a good kick." Recording concluded in the early months of 1972 at Los Angeles' Sunset Sound Studios.

On the song, Charlie Watts said in 2003, "We always rehearse 'Ventilator Blues' for tours. It's a great track, but, we never play it as well as the original. Something will not be quite right; either Keith will play it a bit differently or I'll do it wrong. It's a fabulous number, but, a bit of a tricky one. Bobby Keys wrote the rhythm part, which is the clever part of the song. Bobby said, 'Why don't you do this?' and I said, 'I can't play that,' so Bobby stood next me to clapping the thing and I just followed his timing. In the world of "Take Five", it's nothing, but it threw me completely and Bobby just stood there and clapped while we were doing the track - and we've never quite got it together as well as that."

The Rolling Stones have only performed the song live once, at Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, B.C on opening night of the 1972 North American Tour in support of "Exile on Main Street".
