Lyrics: Hoodoo Lady, how do you do? They tell me you take a boot and turn it to a brand new shoe But don't put that thing on me Don't put that thing on me Don't put that thing on me 'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee Hoodoo Lady, you can turn water to wine I been wondering where have you been all this time I'm setting here, broke, and I ain't got a dime You ought to put something in these dukes of mine But don't put that thing on me Don't put that thing on me Don't put that thing on me 'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee Spoken: Boy, you better watch it 'cause she's tricky. Hoodoo Lady, I want you to unlock my door So I can get in and get all my clothes But don't put that thing on me Don't put that thing on me Don't put that thing on me 'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee Now, look-a here, Hoodoo Lady, I want you to treat me right Bring my man back home but don't let him stay all night And don't put that thing on me Don't put that thing on me Don't put that thing on me 'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee Spoken: Boy, she's tricky as she can be. Better watch her, too. Why, look-a here, Hoodoo Lady, I'm your friend When you leave this time, come back again But don't put that thing on me Don't put that thing on me Don't put that thing on me 'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee Spoken: Boys, I'm scared of her!. + Informações

Lizzie Douglas aka Memphis Minnie (1897-1972) - guitar, vocals. + Informações

Lizzie Douglas aka Memphis Minnie was born in Algiers, Louisiana in 1897. At 13, she ran away from home to be a street performer on Memphis' Beale Street. She would return home to the family farm in Walls, Mississippi occasionally when she ran out of money. In 1929, Lizzie married guitarist Kansas Joe McCoy. In that same year, they were discovered by a Columbia Records talent scout. They traveled to NY to record "When the Levee Breaks", and "That Will Be Allright" with McCoy performing vocals on both. Several months later, still in New York, "When the Levee Breaks" was becoming a commercial success and Kansas Joe and Lizzie cut two more sides for Columbia- "Frisco Town" and "Goin' Back to Texas". Frisco Town was supposedly Lizzie's first vocal and she and Joe both sang on the Goin Back to Texas cut. At this point, Lizzie changed her name to Memphis Minnie. In 1930, Minnie recorded one of her most famous songs, "Bumble Bee", for Vocalion and the couple recorded for that studio for several more years. In 1930, they moved to Chicago and introduced the Blues to the Jazz town. By 1934, Joe had become jealous of Minnie's success and they split. Minnie was now recording for Bluebird as Texas Tessie. During the remainder of the 30s she made 8 more sides for Bluebird plus another 20 for Decca Record Co. In '39, she returned to Vocalion and married guitarist Earnest Lawlars aka Little Son Joe.They had great success together in the 40s but by the 50s, Minnie's all nighters with the .... + Informações

?Frisco Town (McCoy - Lawler) Recorded: New York, June 18, 1929 Memphis Minnie (vcl)(g), Joe McCoy (g). Born Lizzie Douglas in Algiers, Louisiana, Minnie was one of the most influential and pioneering female blues musicians and guitarists of all time. She recorded for forty years, almost unheard of for any woman in show business at the time and unique among female blues artists. A flamboyant character who wore bracelets made of silver dollars, she was the biggest female blues singer from the early Depression years through World War II. One of the first blues artists to take up the electric guitar, in 1942, she combined her Louisiana-country roots with Memphis blues to produce her own unique country-blues sound; along with Big Bill Broonzy and Tampa Red, she took country blues into electric urban blues, paving the way for Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, Little Walter, and Jimmy Rogers to travel from the small towns of the south to the big cities of the north. She was married three times, and each husband was an accomplished blues guitarist: Kansas Joe McCoy later of the Harlem Hamfats, Casey Bill Weldon of the Memphis Jug Band, and Ernest "Little Son Joe" Lawlers. Paul and Beth Garon's 1992 biography on Memphis Minnie, Woman With Guitar: Memphis Minnie's Blues, makes no mention of a marriage to Weldon, but only says that she recorded two sides with him, in November 1935, for Bluebird Records. It does describe the relationships and marriages to McCoy and Lawlers. After learning .... + Informações
