Amazon.com For the last century and more, the only place in a black American's world safe from the bossman's grasp has been the bedroom. A sense of this freedom in all its audacious raunch and hilarity fairly leaps from this brilliant anthology of bawdy blues recordings from the late 1920s through the 1930s. There are many raw delights to savor, such as Sidney Bechet's thrilling clarinet on "Preachin' Blues"; Tampa Red's Hokum Jazz Band with horny little Frankie Jaxon vamping his lead vocals on "My Daddy Rocks Me with One Steady Roll"; "Don't You Make Me High" by Merline Johnson, the Yas-Yas Girl; and "Get Off with Me" by Coot Grant and Kid Wesley Wilson. The most outrageous gem in the trove is "Winin' Boy" by Jelly Roll Morton, who, in black tie and tails, performed this vulgar masterpiece before unsuspecting governmental dignitaries in the Library of Congress just before World War II. --Alan Greenberg Product description Title: The Copulatin' Blues Label: Mojo (9) Format: CD Country: UK Released: 1996 Genre: Jazz, Blues Style: Country Blues, Chicago Blues, Big Band, Piano Blues, Delta Blues 1 Preachin' Blues 3:01 2 Stavin' Chain (That Rockin' Swing) 3:00 3 New Rubbin' On The Old Darn Thing 2:37 4 The Candy Man 2:53 5 Take Your Hands Off My Mojo 2:59 6 Don't You Make Me High 2:38 7 Wet It! 2:56 8 Press My Button, Ring My Bell 3:19 9 You Can't Tell The Difference After Dark 3:01 10 Get Off With Me 3:10 11 How Do They Do It That Way? 3:19 12 If I Can't Sell It, I'll Keep Sittin' On It (Before I Give It Away) 2:54 13 Yas!
