Too blue for who?
Wanna wind up the Blues Lawyer in your circle? You know him, mid fifties, a bit overweight, has two Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul guitars, each costing more than your kid’s annual tuition at Yale or some other second tier school. Obsessed with recreating BB King songs at the local branch of Uncle Ofay’s Boneless Ribs for the Timid.
Anyway, next time you speak with Blues Boy, share your enthusiasm for the music of RL Burnside and watch him boil over. See, ever since Robert Palmer (not that one) introduced Burnside’s raw blues to a wider audience, people have been falling over themselves to explain away why this isn’t “real blues.” Too raw, too…impolite.
I’ll let you be the judge.
Said I got an ass pocket of whiskey and a front pocket of gin
If you don’t open this door I’ll kick the mother fucker in
