What is this song? It's on this guys website about a Fuzz Face clone he built, and Fulltone's old Tonebender demo. Check it out.

On the same note, does anyone know what this song is, or is it just Fuller improvising?

OCD clip


Just one of those questions that eats away at you every time you're reminded of it!

James C. Bracken (May 23, 1909 - February 20, 1972) was an African American songwriter and the co-founder and co-owner of Vee-Jay Records with his wife Vivian and her brother, Calvin Carter.

Probably the most widely recognized of Bracken's solo compositions is the instrumental track "Steppin' Out", which was covered by Eric Clapton while with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and later by Cream (of which Clapton was a part) in a 14 minute version released on their live album Live Cream Volume II.

Bracken was born in Oklahoma and grew up in Kansas City. He was living in Chicago when he met Vivian Carter in 1944. In 1950 they founded Vivian's Record Shop in Gary, Indiana, and three years later decided to start their own record company, which they named Vee-Jay from their initials[1]. As well as producing and releasing records through his label, Bracken also wrote some of the songs recorded. During the 1950s and early 1960s Vee-Jay became a major independent record label with acts including Jimmy Reed, John Lee Hooker, Gene Chandler, Jerry Butler, The Four Seasons and, for a time, The Beatles. The company folded in 1966.

Bracken died in Los Angeles in 1972.

I thought the Bluesbreaker album was standard issue for amp techs ?

Thank you!!! The nagging question has been answered. I thought it had to be either early-Clapton, -Beck, or -Page, but it's not so easy to figure out who wrote something when you only have the tune

Unfortunately, I've only heard the Bluesbreakers album a couple of times, and certainly not enough to really recognize the material. I'm more of an amateur than an amp tech!
