A little blues to start the morning.

1000 Day Album Challenge (#13) The Rolling Stones: The Rolling Stones (1964) [13.01.24]
I hear the knock on my door that never comes / I hear the telephone that hasn't rung…
The Rolling Stones released their stunning debut in the UK in April of 1964. nine out of twelve tunes were covers of primarily Rock & Roll, Blues and R&B songs. I had already been lured in by The Stones fertile peak of 1968 through 1972 which consisted of four stone cold classics - Beggar’s Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile On Main Street.
in certain respects this album is an introduction to who The Stones love. leading off with the definitive version of Route 66, originally recorded by the Nat King Cole Trio, they proceed to cover Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed, Bo Diddley, Slim Harpo, Chuck Berry, Marvin Gaye, Gene Allison and Rufus Thomas. all of these versions are good to great and I would even choose their take on Carol over Chuck Berry’s.
without I’m A King Bee on this album and Shake Your Hips on Exile I might never have even checked out Slim Harpo. my musical world would be at least a little bit lesser for that.
the U.S. version of their debut (England's Newest Hit Makers) replaces Bo Diddley’s Mona (I Need You Baby) with their cover of Buddy Holly’s Not Fade Away and gives it the poll position on the release. just like their version of Route 66, this is the definitive as far as I’m concerned.
I don’t think The Beatles made an album on this level until their third release, A Hard Day’s Night. yes The Beatles were writing most of their own music from the start, but this album for me is undeniable.

Slim Harpo on Music Women Wednesday?
Let Slim explain: " … when I got home, we wrote that song."
Let his wife Lovelle (Lovell) Moore explain: "We wrote that song at 3 a.m. in the morning back at home." (1)
"James Moore & Jerry West" got writing credit. Yet Lovelle Moore says she got quarter royalties.

The Brain DJ wants you to know why white kids in the 1950's weren't allowed to listen to them 15-bar blues with the filthy lyrics …
Slim Harpo, "I'm a King Bee" (1957)
"Well I’m a king bee
buzzing around your hive,
Well I’m a king bee, baby,
buzzing around your hive,
Well I can make honey baby,
Let me come inside …"
I'm a King Bee
I'm a King Bee- Slim Harpo
"Well I'm a king bee
Buzzing around your hive
Well I'm a king bee, baby
Buzzing around your hive
Yeah I can make honey baby
Let me come inside."
