Greetings all.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s selection is a small slice of the discography of the great Louisiana Red.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Born Iverson Minter<\/strong> in 1932, Louisiana Red recorded for a variety of labels (under his own name) from the early 60s on.<\/p>\n

His 45 discography is relatively brief, dwarfed by his LP catalog which stretches from 1963 to his death in 2012.<\/p>\n

His style mixed traditional acoustic blues, electric blues and R&B, the latter of which is in evidence on 1964\u2019s \u2018Sugar Hips\u2019.<\/p>\n

Ironically, \u2018Sugar Hips\u2019 was the b-side of his biggest commercial success, \u2018I\u2019m Too Poor To Die\u2019 which grazed the Billboard Hot 100 and made the Cashbox Top 30.<\/p>\n

\u2018Sugar Hips\u2019 is the kind of fast moving, gritty R&B that the Mods in the UK were crowding dance floors for.<\/p>\n

It has a persistent guitar\/bass\/drums kick, but it\u2019s the wailing harmonica that really starts a grease fire. Red\u2019s vocal interjections sound like Slim Harpo<\/strong> and Howling Wolf<\/strong> got trapped in the same echo chamber.<\/p>\n

\u2018Sugar Hips\u2019 was recorded in New York for Henry Glover<\/strong>, who along with sleazy, mob-connected Roulette Records honcho Morris Levy<\/strong> tacked his name onto the writing credits with Red.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a very groovy side indeed, and I hope you all dig it.<\/p>\n

See you all next week.<\/p>\n
