Monkey Mind - 02/08/2010
The first hour of this week’s show is all Johnny Otis-related, from his 40s big-band/bebop through his 50s R&B to his 60s and 70s soulfunkblues - including the hilariously, incredibly raunchy “Snatch and the Poontangs” album he released in 1969 (almost certainly with his teen son Shuggie on guitar). I knew about Johnny Otis, sure, but hadn’t really explored his career until now. Motherfuckin WOW.
