Everyday I Have The Blues is a blues song that has been recorded in a variety of styles over the years, with the two most familiar versions by the Count Basie Orchestra and B.B. King. The McGriff/Crawford arrangement brings it back from a big band setting to it’s funkier roots, opening up with Jimmy uncharacteristically playing piano, along with the more familiar Hammond that is featured throughout.
The tune was recorded in San Diego California in 1989 with Jimmy at the organ, Hank Crawford on alto sax, Bob DeVos on guitar and Jimmy Smith at the drums. You can hear the B.B. King and Basie [with Joe Williams] recordings just below the video.
