Climax Blues Band. "Couldn't Get It Right" (Live)

Break out the Beads Bells and Incense and trip back to this woefully titled classic with an upbeat melody.

I can dig it.

Love the ringing guitar tone.
I'm generally not a fan of the Fender Rhodes piano sound, but it sure works on this tune.

You've heard it thousands of times.
Think any Steely Dan song where there is no obvious acoustic piano. Also, think of the keyboard on Sunshine Of My Life by Stevie Wonder.
And, in the 80s, we heard hundreds of that sound from the Yamaha DX7 that gave that bright bell-like Fender Rhodes simulation.
I had one from around '79 - ' 82, because keyboard players had to have that or a CP-80, and that was bigger, heavier & mire fragile, plus way more costly.
As soon as the first analog Chowning pianos were marketed, I couldn't get rid of the Rhodes fast enough.
Never cared for the tone; hated the keyboard action.
