You Got to Give Me Some of It: 55 Risque Blues and R&B Classics 1928-1954

2014 collection.

A blues collection designed for the over 18s only! Here for your listening pleasure are 55 examples of what were once known as 'party' records. Since the dawn of the cylinder, semi pornographic songs were an integral part of the pleasure to be derived from the audio experience. It's parental guidance all the way!

We have lots of euphemisms and metaphors on display so it doesn't take much imagination to figure out how Lizzie Miles' "My Man O' War" performs or what particular part of Julia Lee's man stands out, or if it was really spinach she didn't like. Or listen to Wynonie Harris to tell you how much he likes his baby's pudding? You do, you know you want to know. Whichever way you cut it this dirty blues pie is chock full of double entendre with a side order of just plain bad language. Great stuff!
