Wolf Of Wall Street brought me here... Great song...

I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that blues music is often a trigger for me to grow quickly bored. Scanning the tracklist of @MOJOmagazine's September 2010 covermount, a compilation of "blues classics that inspired Robert Plant," I knew it'd likely be good music but also likely to put me to sleep. When I see three-named men whose monikers begin with Blind, Big, or Little, I'm already tired. I was relieved when the disc turned out to be quite enjoyable. There's electric blues, country blues, and some things you might not consider blues at all—that last category including this week's choice, Bo Diddley's 1955 tune Pretty Thing. I considered posting songs by Big Joe Williams, Big Bill Broonzy, and the Mississippi Sheiks, but at the end of the day it's Pretty Thing that I enjoy the most on this disc. I'm a bad bluesman, but happy to know that this covermount is definitely a worthwhile spin.   1
