A fiery, electric guitar-based Chicago blues with a tinkling piano groove, this track showcases Guy's vocal style: half singing, half screaming, with yelping, drawn out final notes. Lyrically, the song stays deliberately vague. There's no detailed heartbreak or narrative betrayal, just the blues as an external force that hunts, chases, and overwhelms: "The blues got after me," running him "from tree to tree." You don't explain the blues; they arrive, they take hold, and Buddy Guy reacts.
