71: “Dirty Dog” by Bobby Rush

FUNKY FRIDAY
I don’t care who you are, this is good music. It comes from a real place and it’s got soul.
Bobby Rush is worth a listen. I saw him live at The New Daisy Theater in Memphis way back in 1999 (?), and for an intro, the band and an emcee came out and started a groove, and the emcee got the crowd chanting “Bobby RUSHHHH… Bobby RUSHHHH…” all leading up to his coming out to shed a velvety cape, James Brown-style, and whoop the crowd into a frenzy. He loves to tell stories before during and after songs, about the trials and travails of love and its juicy transgressions. He puts on quite a show. This is a good example of the kind of song that makes me love Bobby Rush. He’s putting out some more serious albums lately, but I lean toward the Undercover Lover-type tunes.
Enjoy.
