What can you tell me about the ‘Party Blues’ artist and songs of the 1940′s -60′s?

What I mean are the Blues artist with more sex related, comedic, or raunchy lyrics. If you have any links, please share them. Thanks
Melting Media…: Thank YOU!
Kelvin C: That is awesome bro!

I think for the really raunchy stuff you might want to check music from the 30′s take Robert Johnson’s “Traveling Riverside Blues” (1937) it is the song that gave us those immortal lines;

Now you can squeeze my lemon ’til the juice run down my…
(spoken) ’til the juice rune down my leg, baby, you know what I’m talkin’ about
You can squeeze my lemon ’til the juice run down my leg
(spoken) That’s what I’m talkin’ ’bout, now
But I’m goin’ back to Friars Point, if I be rockin’to my head

(Re)Conception $19.98 Helen Sung has made great strides since winning the 2007 Mary Lou Williams Piano Competition. Recruiting two of the most in-demand rhythm players for this trio date, bassist Peter Washington and drummer Lewis Nash, the pianist mixes things up with fresh arrangements of standards, time-tested jazz compositions, and a few less frequently played works. Her swinging take of Duke Ellington’s “C Jam Blues” begins with a playful exchange with Washington before launching into the familiar theme, with the walking bass and light percussion propelling her inventive improvising as she avoids the clich? d route through this jazz standard. She also offers a snappy midtempo setting of the maestro’s “Everything But You,” playfully incorporating “Things Ain’t What They Used to Be” before she turns on the afterburners in her superb solo. Her punchy take of George Shearing’s “(Re)Conception” reveals the potential of this neglected bop gem. Thelonious Monk’s “Teo” is another overlooked piece, though Sung transforms it into a rapid-fire Bud Powell-flavored romp. Jerry Bock’s “Far from the Home I Love” (from the musical Fiddler on the Roof) is not typically heard much on jazz record dates, but Sung delivers a sentimental yet shimmering interpretation. Her bright rendition of Burt Bacharach’s “Wives and Lovers” puts the spotlight on the talented Washington for an extensive solo. Sung also contributed one original, the lively, constantly shifting “Duplicity.” Helen Sung is clearly one artist to watch among the musicians of her generation. ~ Ken Dryden, Rovi

…I Listen to the Wind That Obliterates My Traces $55.98 Hardcore fans of 20th century music, be it gospel, blues, old-timey, sermons, folk, country, African, Asian, etc., have always been drawn to the Dust-to-Digital imprint since the label’s first box set, Goodbye, Babylon, issued in 2004; it consists of five CDs containing 135 religious songs recorded between 1902-1960, and another disc of 25 sermons cut between 1926-1940, all packaged in a wooden coffin-like box containing a 200-page book and cotton bolls for packing. Devotees of both the music and its fetishistic packaging have grown exponentially. The label’s latest chapter, however familiar its sonic contents may be, is one of its most mysterious, mercurial offerings yet. …I Listen to the Wind That Obliterates My Traces: Music in Vernacular Photographs 1880-1955 is compiled from the personal collection of interdisciplinary sound and visual artist Steve Roden. It contains a book of photographs of musicians — mostly unknown — and others related to the hearing of music. This beautifully hardbound book also contains two CDs containing 51 songs recorded between approximately 1914-1955, taken from 78s and acetates. The music ranges from the well known — Bradley Kincaid’s 1928 recording of “Froggie Went A-Courtin” and Ukulele Ike’s “(I’m Cryin’ ‘Cause I Know I’m) Losing You” — to virtually unknown sides taken from home recordings. This is all annotated by a lengthy poetic essay by Roden that attempts to create a social and poetic context from the ephemeral, and is underscored by epigraphs from writers from James Agee, Joseph Roth, and William Wordsworth to P? r Lagerqvist and Gerhart Hauptmann. The collection? s photographs offer no sense of context other than ? antique.? By contrast, the music, which is annotated inside the book, is situated inside particularly American frameworks — from folk and blues music to vaudeville and traditional pop. The rub between visual and aural lends the package its uneasy, but nonetheless intoxicating, strangeness. Pourin…

10 Days Out (Blues from the Backroads) $24.98 10 Days Out may well be Kenny Wayne Shepherd’s most important and intriguing album, even though the guitarist is hardly the featured artist on any of these tracks, working instead more as a sideman and facilitator for the impressive cast of venerable blues players who get a chance to shine here. Make no mistake about it, this recording belongs to such senior citizens as Henry Townsend, Etta Baker, Pinetop Perkins, and Henry Gray, and Shepherd’s presence (and the presence of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Double Trouble rhythm section of bassist Tommy Shannon and drummer Chris Layton) simply helps to focus the attention on these veteran blues players. Shepherd embarked on a ten-day journey into the American South in 2004 with a documentary film crew, a portable recording studio, and Double Trouble as a house band in an effort to catch the blues in its natural habitat of living rooms, kitchens, porches, back yards, and local watering holes, and the performances that resulted are priceless. Here is one-armed harp player Neal Pattman and blind guitarist Cootie Stark turning in a joyous, ramshackle version of “Prison Blues.” A little later, Stark delivers further on a delightful song called “U-Haul,” complete with a marvelous improvised rap over the tune’s run-out coda. Here, too, is the then-96-year-old Henry Townsend turning in a poignant “Tears Came Rollin’ Down.” Etta Baker, then 93, shows that age hadn’t slowed her as a guitarist at all as she delivers an elegant “Knoxville Rag.” Shepherd wisely stays in the background on cut after cut, allowing these amazing musical treasures to unfold naturally and without intrusive elements. There are absolutely no hotshot guitar histrionics anywhere on this disc, which speaks to Shepherd’s sincere vision for this project. He’s after the preservation of blues history with 10 Days Out, and as if to underscore that aim, five of the album’s participants (Neal Pattman, Cootie Stark, Gatemouth Brown, George “Wild Child” Butler, and…

16 Biggest Hits $11.99 Legacy continues its 16 Biggest Hits packages with this volume by Alan Jackson, an artist who has remained on the charts throughout the 1990s and well into the beginning of the 21st century. The other volumes in this series, by everyone from Roy Orbison to George Jones, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, and Alabama, are by artists whose tenures with the label are over, making this one an anomaly. Jackson has made it through the “neo-traditionalist” and “new country” movements unfazed and unscarred. He’s ridden the charts consistently — in 2007 he scored a Top Ten album with Like Red on a Rose and a number one single with the title track — simply by doing what he does best: make great honky tonk records people can dance to or relate to lyrically. This set has all the big ones on it — as have other ones before, but there are 16 cuts here, from “Chasin’ That Neon Rainbow” to his reading of the classic “Pop a Top,” from “Midnight in Montgomery” and “Don’t Rock the Jukebox” to “Who’s Cheatin’ Who” and “Summertime Blues.” This is a solid package, top to bottom. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi

19 $12.99 With just a couple of cursory listens to the few tracks that popped up all over the Internet through 2007, comparisons were made between Adele, the much-hyped brassy British songstress, and Amy Winehouse, the…much-hyped brassy British songstress. However, after a solid listen to 19, the first full sampling by the up-and-coming Adele, listeners are forced to throw all comparisons to the wind; Adele is simply too magical to compare her to anyone. Bluesy like it’s no one’s business yet voluptuously funky in a contemporary way, Adele rocks out 19 with a unique voice and gritty sound that dazzle endlessly. Synthesizing blues, jazz, folk, soul, and even electric pop, Adele mystifies through her mature songwriting skills and jaw-dropping arrangements. As the album opens with “Daydreamer,” Adele’s illusionary instrument — over minimal sounds — engulfs the listener with a gorgeous feeling of awe and wonderment. On “Melt My Heart to Stone” and the bona fide hit “Chasing Pavements,” Adele allows herself to soar over the strings and power her way through these incredible songs. The upbeat “Right as Rain” is just wonderful, with clear Ashford & Simpson influences speckled all over it in an upbeat set. Nearly all the tracks seem to have been nurtured to glory over months as labors of love. What’s simply awesome on 19 is its capability to capture the listener through mere teasing; Adele doesn’t shout for attention, and doesn’t rely on anyone but herself to prove she’s worth it, in the same vein as Sara Bareilles, another heavily praised artist of 2007. The jazzy “Best for Last” is as retro as the tunes get on the album, yet it still manages to steer away from being boring or old-fashioned. The only awkwardness throughout all of 19 is the overly poppy galactic “Tired,” which sounds as though it might have fallen off a Lily Allen track list, something that doesn’t suit Adele as a musician. As far as artistic drive goes, it seems as though Adele is hoping to capita…

1994 $12.99 When Shawn Camp cut his self-titled album for Warner/Reprise back in 1994, he was riding the coattails of two charting singles from his debut the previous year: “Never Felt So Good” and “Confessin’ My Love.” The artist, management, and industry insiders assumed the set would be a breakout. When it was turned over to the label, however, it was deemed “uncommercial,” and a wave of changes was “suggested.” (This was the era when Travis Tritt, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Trisha Yearwood, and Martina McBride had broken wide open and were topping the charts.) Camp refused and the album was shelved. Fast forward to 2009 when Warner Music Nashville President/CEO John Esposito caught Camp at a guitar pull during a music conference and was impressed. He discovered that the company owned the album, and went through the steps to bring it to market. On the one hand, one can almost exonerate the company for not releasing it at the time. Compared to the aforementioned artists, Camp’s meld of rootsy acoustic and electric instruments playing bluegrass and honky tonk-inspired modern country music was nowhere on the charts in 1994. That said, excellence is excellence: nobody ever told George Strait he couldn’t release a record because he was too country. Camp’s collection of originals and covers is timeless; it sounds “classic,” not nostalgic. Other than the choogling opener “Near Mrs.” with its up-front Telecasters and tight ringing snare drums, everything else here is far more traditional. Whether it’s a moving ballad such as “My Frame of Mind,” the broken-hearted two-step “Little Bitty Crack in Her Heart” with its whinnying fiddles and Dobros, the electric bluegrass in “Stop, Look and Listen (Cow Catcher Blues),” or the midtempo honky tonker “Worn Through Stone,” this album is the place where the history of country music meets the future and melds rather than clashes, for a lone reason: it’s honest. The record espouses a quiet passion, even in its humorous moment…

20th Century Masters – The Millennium Collection: The Best of Nana Mouskouri $9.99 With over 300 million albums sold worldwide, Nana Mouskouri is one of the select few who can rightfully wield the title of global citizen. A command of eight languages certainly serves to anchor her ongoing status as one of Europe’s most popular all-time singers and, with a voice like hers, the praise is justified. Classically trained from a young age, Nana Mouskouri eventually developed a strong interest in jazz, blues, and pop (and got herself tossed out of Athens Conservatory because of it). The classical world’s loss became the pop world’s gain, and Mouskouri’s career trajectory had her conquering Greece, Germany, and, by the early ’60s, France (achieving the greatest number of gold records by a female artist — ever — in that country). Under the wings of a young Quincy Jones she finally began making headway in the U.S. in 1962, and since then, her popularity has only continued to grow globally. With over 1,500 songs (in ten languages!) in her repertoire, whittling it all down to a “best-of” is a daunting task. Hip-O takes up the challenge, and gives it a good shot with their 20th Century Masters – The Millennium Collection: The Best of Nana Mouskouri. It’s a scattershot affair, with most of the tracks falling under a distinctly Western-centric bias — but that’s to be expected. No single-disc collection could sift through over 1,000 songs and succeed in being definitive. Instead, Hip-O focuses on Mouskouri’s most recognizable (to Western ears) output — sneaking in a few of her undisputed global hits (“Plaisir d’Amour,” “Ta Pedia Tou Peria,” and “The White Rose of Athens”) in the process. The more Americanized selections aren’t just filler, though. Her readings of “Bridge Over Troubled Water” and her ? ber-sexy version of “Love Me Tender” are actually highlights here. Those looking for a safe, approachable introduction to Nana Mouskouri’s talents could do a lot worse than the 20th Century Masters – The Millennium Collection. Those searching for …
