@ Vaughn Skywatcher Heintz You saw Koko Taylor? I am soooo envious.

That must have been something!

KOKO TAYLOR ♥️ “Up In Flames” Wild at Heart soundtrack ❤️‍🔥

David Lynch?

Everybody, sing!

Everybody, SHAKE IT!

She performed at a Blues Festival at Spring Mountain Ski Slope. It had to be in early 2000's.

SBW IIIrd ... if you haven't already (I had to take a phone call just as "Wang Dang Doodle" was coming on ... this a killer live track from the legendary Ann Arbor Blues & Jazz Festival. Ms. Taylor is at the top of her game ... and ... her backup band is truly awesome. Do you have liner note inform on who they were?

SOCKS. OFF. 💥 🧦

Ahhhh ... Willie Dixon himself was on stage with Koko! Yep, everyone rose to the occasion on that one.

@Richard just added a note to the playlist at the track should show up if you refresh

Yes, Sir! David Lynch! With a cameo, singing it!

@ Christine ... Yep, I gotta go across the room now and collect my socks ...

Got the personnel list now for the live "Wang Dang Doodle," mega thanks!

Any Bessie Smith vinyl Sonny Boy?

My Blues Off The Record education continues ... great appreciation ... (Dang, I shoulda applied for a course credit! Or is this by definition "auditing" ...? LOL)

Mean blue fairies

Indeed Spooky stuff. 👻

🎃 🎃 🎃

B.B. King!!!!! Great song!!!!!

love the tone on these early recordings

the reverb too on the guitar!

I saw Koko once as well. Chestnut Cabaret in W Phila in 1990s. Good time. She still belted it out

B B KING ♥️❤️♥️

The vibrato, the organ, everything about it. For me it's all about these early recordings. No cheesy horns and distracting production.

Joe Turner ❤❤❤❤❤💯💯💯💯💯

I miss the River Blues Festival and the Jambalaya Jam. Two great extended day events held at Penn's Landing great plaza (the fountains location). Saw some greats over the years that are no longer here. Albert King, Little Milton, Dr John

I envy all of these great live show experiences!

One Cheesy Horn ❤️👻😳🥴 Maybe Two❤️

OMG Dr John

Always wanted to see him.

RIP
