Ooh-Ouch Stop - Big Joe Turner does it again

Posted about 1 year ago
How can you NOT love a song with the title *Ooh-Ouch Stop*? Ok, it might remind you of a bad sex life, but otherwise? Big Joe is on a tear on this one. I really love the jump blues numbers he does like this. From the repeated lyrics I'm finding on this box set I'm guessing that Joe was doing a fair amount of improvising lyrically from his grab-bag of blues phrases.

  1. Madeline Burke says Hey, can't access the audio again today, but I will give it a listen for sure when this Mog thing coughs up it's hairball.

  2. ivylander says What Madeline said. Big Joe can do no wrong in my view - unless we're talking about young children, of whom he was reputedly overfond.

  3. dermahrk says Oh no, I hope you're not saying he was a pedophile. If so, THAT was not in the box set booklet...

  5. Baudolino says Songs like "The Chicken and the Hawk" might tend to give an indication of his preferences. Mind you, it's only really been in the last twenty years or so that musicians have been made more aware of the unaceptability of their previous cavalier attitude to the age of consent. If you were to remove from your collection all records by groups whose members had indulged in under-age sex, your shelves would be swiftly denuded.

  6. deadmandeadman says In the end, there's the music. Rumor, innuendo, and maybe even ugly truths, cannot detract from that. Same with Micheal Jackson. We can refuse to buy, (boycott), but we still must recognize the obvious.

  7. Jonh Ingham says I'm prepared to ignore the rumours and let the music speak. Which it does, eloquently.
