Track:Gonna Work Out Fine
My favorite Ike & Tina cut here. It's too bad Ike was the Ty Cobb of the music world, because he could lay down a set of notes. Tina is a force of nature on this track. Plus, you get the bonus irony by hearing Ike sing about being a forever loving man.

Classic track. His guitar work on this helped give it a rock sound as well as an R&B sound. For someone who was known to be cruel and insensitive toward women, he could write lyrics that analyzed knowledgeably the ethical shortcomings of the male lover, songs such as "Funkier Than a Mosquito's Tweeter" or "The Game of Love."
Greatness. What's with the backup singers' in-and-out reverb? It's cool, but was it intentional?
Now that you mention it, it sounds as if the voices go into maybe an electronic echo towards the end, whereas his guitar has reverb (vibrating loudness) throughout. Perhaps since he knew about guitar reverb, he probably intended the Ikettes' echo.
