Grilling today. Some of my BGM…

Baby won’t you please come home (I need money)

Excellent songs, The Shoe! Sometimes on rotation in my house as well.

It's gloomy weather in Australia. Felt like listening to Interpol for millionth time.

A song from the seemingly bottomless well of creativity of the Mississippi Sheiks, their associates, and their rivals.

While listening to this song yesterday, I started to wonder about the chorus. "Now look here, baby, you're going too fast, / The law gonna step on you." The title is "The Law Gonna Step on You," but Carter sings that line a bit differently. "You" isn't pronounced like the other instances of "you" in the song. What is he singing? "You all"? "Yuh"?

My best guess: it's "your." Carter is singing, "The law gonna step on your ***," without quite singing it. The code for "***" is the emphatic phrase "yas, yas, yas," as in the line from Speckled Red's popular piano blues "The Dirty Dozens": "If you can't shake your shimmy, shake your yas, yas, yas."

I did a google search, and it appears that the obsessives at the country blues music forum "Weenie Campbell" solved this mystery back in 2008. God bless the internet.

At 95 years old. Frickin’ amazing!

Just looked him up on Wikipedia. Didn’t realise he had passed. RIP.

 

[Hurricane Jack]

Incredible songwriting. These two songs should always go together.

Pink Floyd‘s „Sorrow“ from their Pulse - Live album is just melting through a set of new speakers, simply great Tennis.
