| No Fool No More | |
I meant to post this on Sunday as it doesn’t really have anything to do with blues - but it’s a great great song and should be number 1 ! on everyone’s playlist by weeks end. Charles Walker only recorded this one single for Nashville label Champion before moving to NYC and forming the somewhat famous (Little) Charles and the Sidewinders under the wing of Lloyd Price. But this one singe, I think, is much better than his later material and really one of the best Rhythm And Blues songs of all time. At two minutes in length, Charles Walker rips through the song at a almost proto-punk speed - leaving his patched together backing vocalists little time to catch up. What it would be like to have seen him preform live during these years…
