Otis Taylor - Nasty Letter


After a nice movie evening with the movie "Public Enemies" a while ago, it was a song that got stuck but for some reason i never checked it up as i use to do, anyway just the other day, it was time for a movie again, this time was the action movie "Shooter" and during the final text did it popped up again, the song that I would have checked the last time but had forgotten, the song was Nasty Letter by Otis Taylor. There are two versions in the end is quite similar but differ a bit. Listen to both.
