Day 163: I’m Tore Down

I’m Tore Down by Eric Clapton

Sonny Thompson wrote this song, famously covered by Freddy King

I spent hours trying to learn this version by Clapton from guitar tabs, digital files slowed way down- I’m hear to tell you it’s impossible to play unless you make a deal with the devil.

“I’m Tore Down” or “Tore Down” is a blues song first recorded in 1961 by Freddie King (who was then known as “Freddy” King) for Federal Records. Pianist Sonny Thompson, who played on several early King songs, is credited as the songwriter.
