Editorial Reviews
Album Description
We've all heard about the lowdown dirty blues, but just how low down and just how dirty can you get? Bear Family provides the answer in this ultra-smutty, ultra fun party CD. A hit with many church groups and parent-teacher associations, it is truly the living end when it comes to bad taste. You'll hear established blues giants and vocal groups like Amos Milburn, Dinah Washington, Boozoo Chavis, the Blenders, the Clovers, the Treniers, Bullmoose Jackson, Julia Lee, and Wynonie Harris extol the joys of oiling the jig on songs like Rotten Cocksuckers Ball, Poon Tang, Big Long Slidin' Thing, Big Ten Inch, Don't Fuck Around With Love, Drill Daddy Drill, and many more. Best of all, you'll hear an X-rated out-take of Jackie Wilson and LaVern Baker cutting loose on Think Twice. Never designed for release, this underground classic finally comes above ground, alongside other unheralded obscurities like Fred Wolff's Somebody Else Was Sucking My Dick Last Night.
Customer Reviews
eccentric rarities
If you like rare roots stuff, and specific themes, this album should satisfy. The music is pure and varied, ranging from '20s blues and jazz to '60's soul, via some of that infectious '40's - '50's swinging rhythm & blues. Some of the songs like, "Long John Blues (Dinah Washington) and "Don't Come Too Soon" (Julia Lee) are clever risque gems, while others like "Think Twice" (Jackie Wilson & LaVern Baker) are pure X rated. Even the legendary Zydeco hero, Uncle Bud, gets the dirty treatment, from Boozoo Chavis. Great R. & B. classics from Moose Jackson, Wynonie Harris and The Dominoes, will have you dancing and laughing, at the same time. I wouldn't call this album the "dirtiest of them Blues", for that you would have to include Lucille Bogan's "Shave 'Em Dry" or Bessie Smith's "I Need A Little Sugar In My Bowl". Once upon a time, I might've said "play this album when the kids aren't around". Now I'm suggesting, it probably doesn't matter, they've all heard it before, courtesy of today's rap artists. So play this album, let your inhibitions go mad, and enjoy a music that may never pass our way again.
Not Likely In Your Kid's Portable CD Player
If anyone believes that today's music and videos can be described as provocative or groundbreaking, try this out for spin. It's an excellent compilation of great tunes that combine raunchy and suggestive lyrics with great musicianship. Just goes to show that there was just as much sex going on during your grampa's time as there is now. Excellent for the collector who wants to broaden their music current collection. Cool packaging and great booklet included.
dirty blues
This is a nicley packaged collection of songs that would never get radio play due to their explict lyrics. For the most part the songs have suggestive lyrics, but some leave little for interpretation and use profanity. Some of the artists are well known such as Jackie Wilson and Dinah Washington for their mainstream jazz and pop while others are obscure. The cd comes with a fantastic booklet that includes the lyrics as well as pictures and information of the artists. Most of the songs are from the late 1940's or 1950's and are up tempo. If you like jazz and bebop with suggestive lyrics it would be a good addition to your collection. Just be warned that the content ranges from mild to wild and this certainly isn't for everyone. I am instantly reminded of a line from "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" ,"People come to my place to dance erotically."
