If Iggy's new record sounds half that good i'll give it 4,500 stars, man.
Brings me back to around 89 or so when me an my ole lady took two weeks to go from Jackson to Memphis. Them ole juke joints (pronounced jook, like book) we very similar to that one in the video. Had two books and fat credit cards one book was called Road Food the othe was called book called Jazz & Blues Lover's Guide Through America. I would get out of the van and ask someone how you get to so & so street, they would say, "Oh, You don't want to do down there!!!" I say why not usually answer was "Bad Part of town."
All I know is if they say you don't wanna go there is to go there. We would be the only white folk in these places, but they would treat us as gracious hosts. After about five or ten drinks i would walk up by the band and start whistling along with them, they'de hand me a mic and all i remember was that whole trip was kinda like a black out.
I can't wait to do it sober.
ANYHOW
Went to a couple stores with my 8 month and 2 1/2 year old boys and no one even heard of the the weirdness. Got home, sat at computer, went to virgin records. The two stores I went to were two of the 12 or so that the record company has as distributers. Then I just clicked on amazom dot com, bam it will be here in four two five daze.
