I'm in the mood baby, I'm in the mood for love
I'm in the mood baby, I'm in the mood for love
I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood, baby, I'm in the mood for love

I said night time is the right time, to be with the one you love
You know when night come baby, God know, you're so far away
I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood baby, I'm in the mood for love
I'm in the mood, in the mood, baby, in the mood for love

I said yes, my mama told me, to leave that girl alone
But my mama didn't know, God know, girl was puttin' down
I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood baby, in the mood for love
I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood, baby, in the mood for love

A really interesting segue from Amadou and Mirriam.

Although I'd been listening to the blues for many years, somehow discovering JLH as a teen redefined the genre for me.

Bill, let's follow this bad boy up with ZZTopp's "I need you tonight."  Billy Gibbons is damned brilliant here.. 

That's the SHE-IT!

Yes, but 20 - 60 minutes to follow through to the logical conclusion.  Which is as it should be.

Gawd damn it Bill, do you have to keep playing such awesome tunes? Y'know, some of us do have things to do and can't be hanging around the 'radio' forever.  Just one sucky tune will suffice.

Posted 14 years ago by DaMoGan    [ Reply ]
JLH, Sonny Boy Williamson and Howling Wolf are my 50s blues favs . . .
Posted 14 years ago by Albert1967    [ Reply ]
Hell yeah.

The duet with Bonnie Rait still sends shivers up my spine.

I remember seeing JLH at the Boom Boom Room in SF about ten years ago. He shuffles out with his 335 on his shoulder and a total FOX on each arm. Viagra would have been redundant. Like gasoline on a fire. Still, a troubling visual.

Something is telling me you're not breakin Johnny's heart here. And I'm not really sure the rest of us really care either. You know I've gotten hooked on these stupid emoticons lately.

By there very fact that we are male, our horniness is proclaimed! He is merely stating the obvious!
