Happy New Year, blues seekers. I have lots of back burner projects I’m going really try finally get out of the door this year, such as Honey’s Intro to Blues that’s been half written for like 6 months now. This May will be Honey’s fourth year as the premier pre-war blues mp3 blog, and hopefully our best year yet.
To start off the year I picked Lil’ Johnson’s raunchy classic “Press My Button, Ring My Bell” one of her best dirty blues songs - and while the subject matter is pretty obvious it is still one of the better written songs she preformed. She is backed on piano by the wonderful Black Bob which also help to raise this performance above normal dirty blues dreck.
