"Rollin' and Tumblin'" (or "Roll and Tumble Blues") is a blues song first recorded by American singer/guitarist Hambone Willie Newbern in 1929. Called a "great Delta blues classic", it has been interpreted by hundreds of Delta and Chicago blues artists, including well-known recordings by Muddy Waters. "Rollin' and Tumblin'" has also been refashioned by a variety of rock-oriented artists.
Since the 1960s the song has been played and recorded by numerous blues-rock bands, including Cream on their 1966 debut, Fresh Cream; Johnny Winter on his 1968 album The Progressive Blues Experiment; Canned Heat on their 1967 eponymous debut and two versions of the song (with and without harmonica) on their sixth album, Vintage; Blues Creation on their 1969 debut album; Fleetwood Mac on their 1971 album The Original Fleetwood Mac (as "Rambling Pony #2", credited solely to Peter Green); Blackfoot on their 1982 album Highway Song Live; Eric Clapton for his 1992 Unplugged album and 2004's Me and Mr. Johnson; by Jeff Beck in 2000 on You Had It Coming; and Gov't Mule on 2000's Life Before Insanity.
