Whose version of "Love in Vain Blues" do you consider to be the 'definitive' version?

Those are some good choices. But the Stones version has always been my favorite. Let it Bleed was one of the first albums I ever bought.

Oh, come on......Robert Johnson has got to win this one!!!!! Everyone else's version, no matter how good, is a COVER. Robert defined it, the others have reinterpreted it.

The nod has to go to RJ for Doing it first...

But the Stones made it theirs.

Yeah. What Bill said. I'm a big Keb Mo fan but Johnson set the bar.
