Blind Lemon Peel Blues All-Stars - Don't Tear My Clothes

.
If you're not out on the dance floor moving to the groove of "Shake Your Love Thang" it's pretty much guaranteed that you'll be raising your beer glass in salute to those who are while you sing along to the anthemic chorus that features a fun repetition of the song title. Making the song even more fun to sing along with is the fact that Blind Lemon Peel has a voice that recalls Dr. John, and here he sings a bit maniacally while advising his woman to shake her love thang. And no doubt she will. "Wear What I Please," performed as bouncy sweet southern soul is more restrained, and "Boogie Man of Love" is a simmering, Muddy Waters-style slow blues jam where Blind Lemon Peel drawls out some words delightfully, to the point where it sounds like a bullfrog croaking the blues. Obviously the vocals are what make this set unique, and whether he's singing the lively and self-explanatory "I'm So Horney" or about having to be careful while indulging an infidelity on the horn augmented title cut, Blind Lemon Peel's singing is like nothing that's come down the pike for a while. Some will see this effort as a bit too shticky but those who feel otherwise will be absolutely tickled.>
