I've splat what I remember in two parts separated by a rest :
  • The first is the flow of the vocal
  • The second is played by a bass or an electric guitar

The way I remember the timbre is near what I can hear when I'm listening some songs of Albert King or Otis Rush. But as far I've searched among their titles, I didn't found it yet. Do you have an idea of what can be that song?
Thanks a lot ! Marc
 
There is a place over at Discogs that may be of help.  Of course you have to become a user to post.  Might be worthwhile if you really need to find out.

I listened to your sample and it doesn't strike me as anything Albert King or Otis Rush would've recorded although I don't know their stuff real well. They're far more electric guitar blues than your sample, the first part of which sounds like slow and melancholy. John Lee Hooker had some songs like that on Atlantic Records I think; the tracks I'm thinking of weren't as bluesy as his other stuff. 

I recommend trying to remember where you heard this sample and what you were doing to see if you can re-capture some of the memory. Also, try listening to a wide variety of blues—Chicago, Memphis, Delta. Good luck!

I put my hopes on people like you, who once heard it, rather than on AI based tools. 
I hope you will remember its title.

But if I do so, I fear that Google will be tricked, because I've gathered two different parts of that song and put them one next to the other.
In the real song it might not be the case. I mean : second part might be separated from first by a whole minute, in example.

Thanks for your help ! But no, they aren't the one I am looking for. 
My fault : I change the description in my post. It's a blues/rock I'm searching for. The way I remember the timbre is near what I can hear when I'm listening some songs of Albert King or Otis Rush.
