While I'm On the Subject

I now believe it's absolutely necessary to make a retroactive addition to my best music of 2011 list.  If you didn't see this coming, well, then you probably didn't read either of my last two posts.

As it turns out, Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears released an album in 2011 called She's So Scandalous.  It's kinda awesome.

I embedded the video for "Mustang Ranch" in my Monday post.  Again, might be a bit NSFW, depending on how your work feels about songs accompanied by cartoons about going to a brothel.  Y'know...[1]



And then there's the title track, which is just freaking amazeballs.

Meanwhile, on the "white people covering blues musicians" subject from yesterday, there's this Creedence ditty:



That, of course, is a cover of a Screamin' Jay Hawkins song.  Let's embed some Screamin' Jay Hawkins.



Yeah.  So that was a thing.  The '50s were weird, man.  Don't let anybody tell you they didn't invent drugs until the '60s.

[1]So is it weird that I watch that video and can't help but think of the Chicago Imagists school of art while watching the animation?
