I wish I could had even conceived of women-snaring lines like those in Ollie's "I'll Drink Your Bathwater Baby" in my youth. Then again, I would have been to shy to use 'em.
Great stuff - thanks rok.

Blues for Aficionados
I have found that postings music is a good way to listen to all the music in your collection. I have neglected the ultimate source of much of the music I post. This tread corrects that oversight. All Blues post are welcome. I will concentrate on the Delta.

Billie and DeDe Pierce NEW ORLEANS: THE LIVING LEGENDS Riverside / Original Blues Classics 1961 / 1990 Notes: The singing of the Blues to the accompaniment of cornet and piano was one of the earliest forms taken by Jazz when it first found its way onto phonograph records in the 1920s. The records of Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, and Ida Cox are examples of "classic" Blues, and thirty-five years ago the "race" catalogues of record companies were full of them. To most collectors of such records, the "classic" Blues style is fascinating--and all but extinct. But in New Orleans, thanks to a durable couple named Billie and DeDe Pierce, and also to a rather fantastic little dance hall named Luthjens, this tradition has been kept very much alive.
