Billy Hawks - The New Genius Of The Blues flac album

New Genius of the Blues/More Heavy Soul. Billy Hawks played the organ and sang the blues - a combination that in the late '60s, when Hawks recorded and released The New Genius of the Blues and More Heavy Soul! for Prestige, meant that he was most certainly a practitioner of soul-jazz. Working in a similar vein to Jimmy Smith, Jimmy McGriff, and other funky professors of the Hammond organ, Hawks didn't play straight-up jazz on either of his Prestige LPs, here captured on a single-disc 2014 reissue by Ace. For one thing, he sang, a choice that positions his recordings much closer to R&B than jazz.

It included club classic ‘O'Baby (I Believe I'm Losing You)’, as well as three other floor-fillers; ‘You've Been A Bad Girl’, ‘Whip It On Me’' and ‘What More Can I Do?’. The beautifully packaged EP is designed in the London Records, Decca style and showcases the two known photographs of Billy. These were provided by the organ-playing singer's brother Leroy in 2014.

Whorehouse Blues Lyrics. Well, we come up from the gutter The wrong side of the tracks Yeah, we come up from the gutter Wrong side of the tracks. You know the music brought us out, babe And we ain't never been back. Cause we went city to city All around the world Yes, we went city to city All around the world. You know it never looked like enough, honey Even after thirty years. Cause we come blazing like a shooting star And we light you up real good We come blazing like a shooting star And we light you up real good  . It’s a country-blues style song, with acoustic guitars and Lemmy also playing the harmonica. It makes for a nice contrast to the rest of the album, which is arguably the heaviest Motörhead album to date. The lyrics are about the band building up a whorehouse. Whorehouse Blues" Track Info.
