What are you listening to? Part 7

[Risky Thicket]

You've got to love Koko Taylor. I also love the baseline in this song.

 

[Risky Thicket]

Zydeco for those who like it, and I do. Probably the king of Zydeco was Clifton Chenier.



A little Cajun music.

Uptown got its hustlers
Bowery got its bums
And 42nd street got big Jim Walker
He's a pool shootin' son of a gun
Ya, he's big and dumb as a man can come
But stronger than a country hoss
And when the bad folks all get together at night
You know they all call big Jim boss, just because, and they sa

{Refrain}
You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim, da do da do...

Well out of south Alabama come a country boy
He said, "I'm looking for a man named Jim
I am a pool shootin' boy, my name is Willie McCoy
But down home they call me Slim
And I'm looking for the king of 42nd street
He's driving a drop top Cadillac
Last week he took all my money, and it may sound funny
But I've come to get my money back," and everybody said, Jack, don't you know

{Refrain}

Well a hush fell over the pool room
When Jim he come boppin' off the street
And when the cuttin' was done
The only part that wasn't bloody was the soles of the big man's feet
And he was cut in 'bout a hundred places
And he was shot in a couple more
And you better believe they sung a different kind of story
When big Jim hit the floor

You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Slim, da, do, da, do...
{Repeat}

{Spoken}
Yeah, big Jim got his hat
Find out where it's at
And not hustling people strange to you
Even if you do got a two piece custom made pool cue

when I was a kid, FM was just getting big My parents cars only had AM but when I "graduated" from 6th grade, my mother gave me a sony (I think) AM-FM radio with a digital clock-the one where the numbers were actually plastic cards that would display the time. The first night I plugged it in, this was the first tune I heard. I have liked it ever since

I had a clock like that too! The first night in my room though, the sound of the flipping cards, kept me awake all night. :2razz:

Moonshadow is a great tune.

Some saucy Santana. (Sometimes, alliteration is fun. )

Awesome set RC! Goodies all! Patsy is one of my most favorite female vocalists. Crazy is one of her best.

Here are a couple more.



I wish this sounded better, but it's the only clip on youtube that I am certain is her singing.
