Mon, 11 Aug 2008 02:26:00 GMT

Here's another New Orleans rarity that, like the previously posted Johnny Moore (Deacon John) 45, came out on the Wand label, based in New York.

On it he plays piano and sings duets with John Lee Hooker, James Cotton, Johnnie Johnson (Chuck Berry), Earl King, and Lee Allen (Fats Domino). Hooker enjoyed these sessions so much that he asked Woods to join him in his own recording "Boom Boom". Cotton blasts and wails on harmonica,...

As I'm feeling better this evening, and while John and I both assemble and post our trip photos to Smugmug, I thought I'd share with my readers the faces of the people (and the six doggies) we were so happy to spend time with while in the US.

So, Earl King was the best known of them but there were several other guys who later became very famous blues and R’n‘B artists who, when they were young men, had a club owner turn to them and say: “Learn the song, tonight you're Guitar Slim.” And because that was before there were rock albums...

If You Just Woulda Said Goodbye Walkin' Willie RSVP - 113 MP3 File Here is one I know almost nothing about. Who is Walkin' Willie? I have no idea. What we do have is a nice mixture of New Orleans-y sounds. A Chris Kenner-y vocal, Toussaint-y piano and female chorus, overlaid with an Earl King-y guitar riff. If you know anything about this one, please let me know...

Mojo’s Cold Shot: Professor Longhair, “Big Chief (Part 2)” (Popdose)

... There’s a little bit of a debate on who deserves the credit for this song — sometimes it's Earl King, sometimes ‘Fess, and sometimes both. I’m on the ‘Fess side of the fence, because if there’s no deadly right-hand groove with that rock-solid left hand, there’s no legendary cut. He just plays it over and over and over and over, and at the end of a couple good minutes you're under...
