The Austin Chronicle catches up with ailing guitar man Evan Johns, who's still fighting the good fight despite some pretty major setbacks. I was lucky enough to see him onstage a bunch of times in the 80s and 90s, first with the LeRois Brothers and later with his own band, Evan John & The H-Bombs.

Written by Dan Penn and Chips Moman, partially recorded at Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, this 1967 hit is one of the most sublime songs in any genre. Atlantic released it in 1967 as the B side to "I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You).
