Sam Myers and Anson Funderburgh, "Hep Cats in Big Town," has a great line..."Ask my pretty baby, could she stand to see me cry. I asked my woman could she really really stand to see me cry. She say not only that, I could stand to see them bring your dead body by." Sam and Anson have a lot of great stuff. I think Little Walter's "Tell Me Mama" has some great lines too. Sometimes the blues is fun and takes you away from a lot of bullshit if you let it. Jim Kweskin, who I don't see associated with blues much, and "Downtown Blues", jumps. Has some good humor. I think he's getting a kick out of singing it. Good time songs. No deeply hidden meanings that I can see.
