WOMAN BE WISE Sippie Wallace came to the broad world attention through her
champion Bonnie Raiit. Here she is with her
signature song. Woman Be Wise. From the school of think twice and speak
once. “Woman be Wise, keep your moth shut and don’t advertise your man.” Sippie
could not have a more excellent accompanist than she has here; Little Brother
Montgomery on the piano.
WHY DONT WE DO IT IN THE ROAD don’t know how this happened. A lot of people will say
it’s a travesty for Lowell Fulson to be forced to do Why Don’t We Do It in the
Road? But I get a kick out of it. Its different for Lowell…sounds like the
Black Keys, really. But the funny thing is he keeps moving the love making back
to more comfortable places. Why don’t we do it in the road? Why don’t we do it
in the car? Why don’t we do it in the house? Finding his own song, really. From
the soundtrack of American Gangsta- No one will be watching us!
SICK AND TIRED Found a great David Bartholome argosy. On it many key
Crescent City numbers. I knew this song from the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Its got
a drone Nawlins pno. Hot sax. Crazy back beat. (Dave invented the Big Beat.) Sea
Cruise Horns. And a crying vocal. Stop that jive or find yourself outside! Asking
the musical question: Oh baby, whatcha
gonna do?!
GIRLISH WAYS David Johansson did this. He was a Doll? You know what I am
talking about? Who did it first? Take a guess. Yes, Mr. Jones, it’s a girl! The
original stands immortal. It’s Memphis Minnie the guitar Cleopatra. Listen to the words…Memphis
Minnie was just trying to play her hand from through the window came a man. And
things got weird.She was learning. Had to travel before she got wise. She was
thinking back to 1917 when she did this. Which is like now if we were thinking
back to 1996. Come in ze here fact checker, but Lord Master play it for me now!
It’s Minnie doing In my Girlish Days.
LOVE HAVE MERCY One of my favorites all time is Otis Redding’s Dictionary of
Soul LP. Came across in a bin around 1969. Otis looks a little like Groucho on
the cover. This aint the strongest number on that LP, but it hit me while I was
dressing for work one day in 2012. What a group. I like the double beat. Keep
your eye on the drummer and Watch for the double beat!The professer says Lord
have mercy on my soul, how many (chickens) have I stole! Love Have Mercy! http://mog.com/m/track/460059?ci=40000
CHICKEN SHACK There is a damn lot of variety to the blues. Don’t let
anyone tell you different. That’s one thing this deck is about. Ok every
friggin band did Chicken Shack, that’s true. But what if we went back to
first principles? Fading out to the news
now… Dr Mog Bop says adew. From Philly to the world Jimmy BFree B3 Smith..Chicken Shack! http://mog.com/m/track/11353437?ci=40000
