A real mutha fuyer

Chick Willis “Stoop Down Baby, Let Your Daddy See”   Laval Records (1972)   Features funky cuts like the 20- minute title song and my favorite, a salacious take on B.B. King’s “Mother Fuyer” – about a furry little animal called a “fuyer.”   Dirty Red also put out a version.   I remember finding the single of “Mother Fuyer” in the basement of a record store in Boston.   Sometimes you remember where you found a record.   I don’t know why.   Chick shouldn’t be confused with his cousin “the King of the Stroll” Chuck Willis, whom he played with in the fifties.   No doubt his stint in the sixties playing with Rudy Ray Moore led him to the raunchy material he became best known for.

Gotta serve somebody

“Softee Man Blues” Doug Quattlebaum   Prestige put out the Bluesville label in the early sixties and recorded some of the best blues artists of the day.   The cover photos and art direction was great and included beautiful portraits of many blues legends.   This one is a-typical.   Some of the records were by little known, but authentic, old time blues men like this one by Doug “softee man” Quattlebaum.
