Musical Interlude: The hot humid weather we're having here has put me in a blues mood...and now I'm remembering this impressive duet...

"Insane Asylum," performed by Willie Dixon & Koko Taylor.

Today in Labor History July 1, 1915: American bluesman, Willie Dixon, was born. He was one of the most influential blues songwriters and performers of the post-World War II era. Some of his most well-known (and most covered) songs include: My Babe, Spoonful, Hoochie Coochie Man, Little Red Rooster, I Just Want To Make Love To You, Wang Dang Doodle, Pretty Thing, I Ain’t Superstitious, The Seventh Son, You Shook Me, Back Door Man and You Can’t Judge a Book By Looking At Its Cover. His music was an important link between blues and rock and roll. Sadly, many rock and rollers stole his music and made more money from the songs than he ever did. However, in 1987, he did reach an out-of-court settlement with Led Zeppelin, the band that probably gained the most from plagiarizing his music. A really great book on the link between American blues and jazz and the evolution of rock and roll is Billy Bragg’s 2017 “Roots, Rockers and Radicals: How Skiffle Changed the World.”

The Brain DJ and I are still listening to Sonny Boy Williamson II, and this song, written by Willie Dixon (1915-1992), was recorded by Sonny Boy Williamson II in 1963 and released in 1966. Led Zeppelin borrowed some of it for their version of "Bring It On Home" in 1969.
