There is a subset of blues called “bawdy blues” or “dirty blues” for which I have a great fondness.
I spent some time this weekend listening to old favorites plus songs I hadn’t heard from Wikipedia’s curated list.
I felt a little bad for the Alexa. “Alexa! Play ‘Please Warm My Weiner’ by Bo Carter.” Alexa obediently plays it. It is, as you can imagine, pretty dirty.
“Alexa! Play ‘Bow Wow Blues’ by the Allen Brothers.” Alexa claims she “couldn’t find that on Amazon Music.” Perhaps Alexa wouldn’t play that because the innuendo is disappointing.
I took a detour into “Open the Door, Richard.” I intend to work “I got class I ain’t never used yet” into work chit-chat this week.
But otherwise, blues music? Check! Clever lyrics? Check! Sexual content? Check! What’s not to love?
