[MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] Welcome up close, you got what I need. When I get home, I need some loving real fast. Know what I mean, Tony? When I come home, I need some loving real fast.

And that was John L. Walker with "Come Over Here" from his brand new life album, "Live in Germany." This is Coco Montoya. [MUSIC] [MUSIC] There's a pain in my mind, and baby we both know why. Take it over and over, and it adds up to one big life. You may not know it, baby, but you believe in lots of clues. Well enough is enough, this time I ain't gonna lose. [MUSIC] [MUSIC] Try to make me a fool from my head down to my shoes. But enough is enough, this time I ain't gonna lose. [MUSIC] I let it slide one time before you didn't think I'd hurt.

[MUSIC] Saying love is enough, this time I ain't gonna lose. [MUSIC] Well, baby. [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] Coco Montoria, with enough is enough, from his 2000 album suspicion. He played in Alva Collins band for a while, and in John Mail's Blues Breakers, we'd also try out some great stuff that two of them did remarkable. Well, Buddy Gar is latest album, Skin Deep was voted contemporary blues album of the year, and this is from that, this is who's gonna fill those shoes. [MUSIC] [MUSIC] Somebody got to help me. [MUSIC] Tell me who's, who's gonna fill those shoes? [MUSIC] You know what I'm talking about? Tell me who's, who's gonna fill those shoes? [MUSIC] Now they're the ones who made it blue.

Well, let's change the style a bit now. This is Blind Norris and Sundown Blues. [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] That was a guy called Lonesome Sundown with Leave My Money Alone, recorded in Los Angeles in September 1956, and played here from the four CD collection of Duke Joint Blues. His actual name was Cornelius Green, and not Lonesome Sundown. And before that, Blind Norris with Sundown Blues, recorded in Dallas in February 1937, with Alex Moore on piano, and Andrew Hock on guitar. His real name was Norris MacHenry, but known as Blind Norris. Well, this next lady I've played before, and this is from her new album, Alone Together with the Blues. It's Mary Lou Williams' song, The Track is Walking. I'm walking out the door with you on my mind. I'm walking out the door with you on my mind. But there is a way from you, babe. I feel like crying. I walked into the street, talking to myself. Yeah. I walked into the street, talking to myself. No matter what my conscience says, I'm thinking about nobody else. I met a brand new guy, high phone to make a day. I met a brand new guy, high phone to make a day. But when I rang his number up, I got your number by mistake. You say you love me, baby, but you don't know what to do. You say you love me, baby, but you don't know what to do. Now you don't.

I recorded in Chicago in January 1937, and I think there's a young Les Paul on guitar there. He was born in 1915, so that would have made him 22, which is quite possible. He's still playing today, believe it or not. And before that, me of a million with walking from her new album, Allowing Together with the Blues. Well, BB King's always acknowledged T-Pulm Walker as a major influence, and you can hear it on this next track. This is You Upset Me Baby. (♪♪♪) (♪♪♪) (♪♪♪) (♪♪♪) Well, she's not too tall. Complexion is fair. Man, she knocked me out the way she wears a hair. You upset me baby. Yes, you upset me baby. Like being hit by a fallen tree, woman, woman what you do to me. Well, I tried to describe her as hard to start. I better stop now because I got a weak heart. You upset me. Well, you upset me baby. Well, like being hit by a fallen tree, woman what you do to me. (♪♪♪) (♪♪♪) (♪♪♪) (♪♪♪) Well, I tried to describe her as hard to start. I better stop now because I got a very weak heart. You upset me baby. Yes, you upset me baby. Well, like being hit by a fallen tree, woman what you do to me. (♪♪♪) (♪♪♪) I'm going to Chicago and I'm sorry I can't take you. (♪♪♪) I'm going to Chicago and I'm sorry I can't take you.
