Mm-hmm, thank you. Welcome to nothing but the blues with me, Cliff. And that was the Irrepressable Hound Dog Taylor with Dust My Broome from his 1975 album, Beware of the Dog. And sadly, he died just before he hit the streets, so he never got to see the album. But let's stay with Hound Dog Taylor now, but somebody else doing one of his tunes. This is Moreland's an Arbuckle.

Susan Tadesky with Just Won't Burn. It's the title track from her first album, released in 1998, and the band at that time included the late Sean Costello on guitar. And before that Debbie Davis with 24-hour fall from her first solo album, picture this released in 1993, before that she'd been working in Albert Collins Band. I'm going to change the style now. This is country Joe, not country Joe, anybody. It's country Jim Bloodso. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ One guy said, "Not at my will." ♪ I couldn't hardly see. ♪ Oh, man, load up boy. ♪ Had bad news for me. ♪ With my little man, hung my head in the crowd. ♪ Only he said you're last to speak. ♪ That you're last to speak about. ♪ Whoa, people. ♪ Yeah, as I only know. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ Ain't it where'd you go? ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ What it want can't be by after you? ♪ What it want can't be by after you? ♪ ♪ Lord, it want can't be by after you? ♪ ♪ See that boy, this can't be. ♪ ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ It's a long way, not for years. ♪ A hundred bells, no. ♪ ♪ And then you know what a boy is in love ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪♪♪ ♪ My baby told after what ♪ ♪♪ ♪ She told after all this deal ♪ ♪♪ ♪ My baby told after what ♪ ♪♪ ♪ She told after all this deal ♪ ♪♪ ♪ Because I give everything she wants ♪ ♪ I am a giant will ♪ ♪♪ ♪ She wrote me a letter ♪ ♪ And she said she was coming home soon ♪ ♪♪ ♪ My baby wrote me a letter ♪ ♪♪ ♪ And she said she was coming home soon ♪ ♪♪ ♪ She'd be on Monday Friday morning ♪ ♪♪ ♪ A late Saturday afternoon ♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪ Hey, wait a minute ♪ ♪ I want to tell you about my baby ♪ ♪ I want to tell you about my baby ♪ ♪ Every time she walks ♪ ♪♪ ♪ She shakes like a leaf shaking on a tree ♪ ♪♪ ♪ Every time she walks ♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪ She shakes like a leaf shaking on a tree ♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪ And when I leave you this time ♪ ♪ Maybe I won't be back no more ♪ ♪♪ ♪ Never let a woman know you love her ♪ ♪ Yes, that's what I've been told ♪ ♪♪ ♪ But every time I look at you ♪ ♪ Baby, you make my blood run cold ♪ ♪♪ ♪ But every time I look at you ♪ ♪ Baby, you make my blood run cold ♪ ♪♪ ♪ Well, my time was your time ♪ ♪ For a long, long time ♪ ♪ But that was the time ♪ ♪ I thought that your time was my time ♪ ♪ But that time is gone ♪ ♪ Yes, I'm sorry you've got to go ♪ ♪♪ ♪ Well, I've changed my way of living ♪ ♪♪ ♪ My time ain't your time no more ♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ We know any Harris with Here Comes the Blues, recorded in Los Angeles in August 1945, very smooth. And before that, Albert King with Driving Wheel from 1979, especially for Mike in New York. Well, this is a new name for the show now, and I'll probably get it all wrong. It's Victor Wainwright and The Wild Roots. It's a long way to go. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪ No, it's what the holy man ♪ ♪ Let his people do the promise last ♪ ♪ For the end of the desert sand ♪ ♪ Ain't it misery ♪ ♪ Those who never lost his faith ♪ ♪ The Lord out wasn't getting made ♪ ♪ Down the long hard road ♪ ♪ And we still have a long way to go ♪ ♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪ ♪ A long, long way ♪ ♪ A long way ♪ ♪♪ ♪ See the soul of Abraham ♪ ♪ In the eyes of the righteous man ♪ ♪ Kinds children all take their hand ♪ ♪ Join in revelry ♪ ♪ How to do your sad cause ♪ ♪ I ask the body will surely fall ♪ ♪ Down the long hard road ♪ ♪ And we still have a long way to go ♪ ♪♪ ♪ History of sorrow ♪ ♪ Gonna change tomorrow ♪ ♪ Someday ♪ ♪ You know we've got to change ♪ ♪ We were overcome if we left ♪ ♪ No, not the way ♪ ♪ Rowley Key was the creature man ♪ ♪ He chewed the light and made his hand ♪ ♪ Had a dream all men can live ♪ ♪ In peace and brotherhood ♪ ♪ Gave his life what he believed ♪ ♪ Freedom just is equality ♪ ♪ How long hard road ♪ ♪ And we still have a long way to go ♪ ♪♪ ♪ Love man ♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪ History of sorrow ♪ ♪ Gonna change tomorrow ♪ ♪ Someday ♪ ♪ I know we've got to change ♪ ♪ We were overcome if we left ♪ ♪ Love got to wait ♪ ♪ Love is gonna change ♪ ♪ And I love the way everything on ♪ ♪ And I love the righteous man ♪ ♪ God's children all taken care of ♪ ♪ Join in revelry ♪ ♪ I have to do yes, I'm the girl ♪ ♪ I have to fight it with sure the ball ♪ ♪ Got a long heart roll ♪ ♪ We still have a long way ♪ ♪ Ooh ♪ ♪ I'll let you see too ♪ ♪ Got a long heart roll ♪ ♪ And we still have a long ♪ ♪ Long way to go ♪ ♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ gonna sit right down ♪ ♪ in my easy chair ♪ ♪ pull out a deck of cards ♪ ♪ I'm gonna play some solitaire ♪ ♪ break out a bottle ♪ ♪ and wash me a glass ♪ ♪ to keep me company ♪ ♪ tell the feelings past ♪ ♪ everybody needs ♪ ♪ something to do ♪ ♪ just sit here ♪ ♪ and think about you ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ it might seem hopeless ♪ ♪ but it ain't that bad yet ♪ ♪ it's just the blues as blues goin' ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ I need to call somebody ♪ ♪ someone I can trust ♪ ♪ I need a number ♪ ♪ for lovers and all of us ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ I'll tell 'em my story ♪ ♪ hope they'll understand ♪ ♪ maybe they can explain it to me ♪ ♪ 'cause I don't think I can ♪ ♪ I'll take your picture ♪ ♪ down from my wall ♪ ♪ try to remember ♪ ♪ the thrill of it all ♪ ♪ I know it's over ♪ ♪ But it ain't over yet ♪ ♪ It's just the blues as blues can get ♪ (guitar strumming) ♪ Why find the feeling when I can't fight back in tears ♪ ♪ I stare at the ceiling and I wish that you were here ♪ ♪ I'm going crazy but I ain't crazy yet ♪ ♪ It's just the blues as blues can get ♪ (guitar strumming) ♪ Just the blue light blues can get ♪ ♪ It's just the blues ♪ ♪ 'Cause I know it's over ♪ ♪ But it ain't over yet ♪ (guitar strumming) - Della McLinson, blues as blues can get, from his 1992 album, "Never Been Rocked Enough." Lovely stuff. What we heard from some of the modern ladies earlier, this one's back to September, 1928. This is Victoria Spivey. (guitar strumming) ♪ Whoever said a good man for too fun ♪ ♪ Positively and absolutely sure was blind ♪ ♪ I found the best that ever was ♪ ♪ Here are some of the things he does ♪ ♪ He shakes my ashes, greases my griddle ♪ ♪ He joins my plateau, strokes my fiddle ♪ ♪ My manuals are your handymane ♪ ♪ He threads my needle, brings my weed ♪ ♪ He's my heater, shocks my meat ♪ ♪ My manuals are your handymane ♪ ♪ Don't care if you believe or not ♪ ♪ He's good to have around ♪ ♪ When my cornea gets too hot ♪ ♪ He turned my diaper down ♪ ♪ Bought everything ♪ ♪ He's got a scheme ♪ ♪ I like the way he whipped my cream ♪ ♪ My manuals are your handymane ♪ ♪ He flaps my flapjack, leans off my table ♪ ♪ He's the horses in my table ♪ ♪ My manuals are your handymane ♪ ♪ Sometimes he's up, people that are dumb ♪ ♪ Visit workin' on my lawn ♪ ♪ My manuals are your handymane ♪ ♪ Never has a thing to say ♪ ♪ When he's workin' on ♪ ♪ Wish that you could see the way ♪ ♪ He had a mouth from yours ♪ ♪ My don't seem to melt away ♪ ♪ I get a fresh beat every day ♪ ♪ My manuals are your handymane ♪ Victoria Spivey with "My Handyman" recorded in New York in September 1928 with the Clarence Williams Blue Five, which was King Oliver on Cornet, Eddy Durham on trombone, Omar Simeon on clarinet, I don't think I've heard of him before, Clarence Williams himself on piano and the great Eddy Lang on guitar. Well, this has been "Nothing But the Blues" with me, Cliff, and the website is www.nothingbuttheblues.co.uk. There you'll find the playlist with links to artists and links to previous shows. And you can email me like Mike did, Cliff, at nothingbuttheblues.co.uk. And I notice that more people are subscribing via iTunes these days. And if you want to know how to do that, there's some instructions on the website. Well, I always say nothing but the blues goes from the earliest to the latest, and that's what I'm gonna do with this ending. You've just heard Victoria Spivey from 1928 and you're about to hear Joe Bonamasa from 2006. It's a track called "Bridged a Better Days" from his album "You and Me." Thanks for listening. I hope you'll join me again next week for "Another Hour of Nothing But the Blues."
