Bo Carter - Banana In Your Fruit Basket: Red Hot Blues 1931-36

Bo Carter's family had a musical tradition going back to slavery times and he learned a great deal from its very talented members As a Mississippi musician, Bo was steeped in the region's rich early blues repertoire, but was distinctive in adding to it a new level of sophistication rarely equaled by other blues artists. As a member of the great Mississippi Shieks band he encountered a wide range of traditional and pop styles and employed many of them in his innovative performances. One particular part of his repertoire was the sexually suggestive double entendre blues that are featured here on this album. These recordings, which were demonstrably more original than any of his rivals, sold extremely well and helped Bo become one of the most prolifc artists of the whole pre war blues period. Tracks: Pig Meat Is What I Crave / What Kind Of Scent Is this / Mashing That Thing / Blue Runner Blues / Howling Tom Cat Blues / Don't Mash My Digger So Deep / Pin In Your Cushion / Ram Rod Daddy / All Around Man / Pussy Cat Blues / My Pencil Won't Write No More / Ants In My Pants / Banana In Your Fruit Basket / Cigarette Blues
