The blues has always been spiced with suggestive metaphors. This collection of bawdy blues songs celebrate the off-color blues repertoire: Bessie Smith is wild about her kitchen man's turnip tops but Bo Carter's pencil won'twrite no more! There's lots of variety with songs from the 1930s 40s and 50s; some are simple three-chord blues tunes and others have beautiful ragtime chord changes. Fred shows you how to play accompaniment and solosfor all the songs. The evocative titles include Ain't Got Nobody to Grind My Coffee (Clara Smith) She's Your Cook But She Burns My Bread Sometimes and My Pencil Won't Write No More (Bo Carter) Kitchen Man (Bessie Smith) Big TenInch (Bull Moose Jackson) You Can't Tell the Difference After Dark (Alberta Hunter) and the holiday perennial Let's Make Christmas Merry Baby (Amos Milburn).
