For you cats that might wanna sample Tramp, that 30 seconds is up just before the man gets to the first chorus, where it will grab that somethin in you that can't quit givin. You know what I'm talkin about. Fuck it. I don't care if it is mono, I'm buyin the bitch. I misplaced the album long ago. I don't wanna steal anybody's thunder here, just challenge you is all, that said, Smokestack Lightin by that wonderful old man. You bad, Wolfny, but not bad as me.

Easin' down the highway in a new Cadillac,
I had a fine fox in front, I had three more in the back.
They sportin' short dresses, wearin' spike-heeled shoes,
They smokin' Lucky Strikes, wearing nylon too.
Oh I'm bad, I'm nationwide.....

Jim....
If your looking for a "killer" album.....this was always my favorite.....
"Blow your face out baby..... "

Yes sir, Wolf man, I do. And you are maximus of every count (cept those white boys). Sam and Dave get my mojo working going everytime. You still got to pay your respects. And we can't be the only chumps here than are down. Am I right or is it raining? Have mercy, miss percy.

1. Proud Mary-Ike &Tina Turner (has to include the intro)
2.Rocket 88-Ike Turner
3. What I Say Parts 1&2-Ray Charles
4. Night Train (Instrumental)-Jimmy Forrest
5. Call of the Gator (Instrumental)-Willis "Gator" Jackson
A great album of old time R&B is Honkers & Bar Walkers Volume 1 on the Delmark label. It has Night Train and a must listen After Hours Joint. All the songs contain that deep dirty tenor sax. This is before African-American music crossed over, it ain't no watered down sh-t!

Night Train. Oh, that is good, Zee. I'll raise you Honky Tonk- Bill Doggett. Anybody remember Flip, Flop, and Fly- Joe Turner; Roll With Me Henry- Etta James; My Babe- Little Walter!?

I gotta go with "Gangster of Love" by Johnny "Guitar" Watson as my fave.

"Yes sir, mister sheriff, and that's your wife on the back of my horse". Fabulous.
