      ericblowtorch
      One of the most fun records of 1969, completely out of its time. 'Go Home and Do It' is rockin' with hilarious vocals, 'That's Your Baby' is blues riff comedy, 'Baby Bed Good,' a bluesy double-timer with funny vocals, 'You Need Me Baby' a funky strut with one of the greatest opening lines ever ('He was the best marble shooter that lived in the whole darn town'), and 'Chicken Crazy,' a hilarious one-chord tittyshaker. And that's only Side 1!

      'You've Come a Long Way Baby' is a mid-uptempo blues riff backbeat thing with deliberatedly strained vocals and Beefheart-like guitar, 'Sweet Sweet Woman' a mid-slow 6/8 thing about a motivatin' woman, 'You Can Tell' a so-so 6/8 ballad,
      'Take the Fifth Amendment' a forced-metaphor uptempo bluesy riff rocker, and 'Keep the One You Got' a 6/8 ballad with funny yet sad vocals, Joe's specialty, with the immortal quote 'See that man dressed in his Nehru' -- Joe's one concession to this album's era.

      In anyone else's hands this would be mediocre, but it's Joe Tex, so of course it's a barrel of kicks.
