Otis Taylor: "Hey Joe (A)" - Hey Joe Opus - Red Meat

Written by Billy Roberts
Hey Joe, where you goin' with that money in your hand?
Hey Joe, where you goin' with that money in your hand?
Chasin' my woman, she run off with another man
Goin' downtown, buy me a forty four
Goin' downtown, buy me a forty four
When I get through that woman won't run no more
Hey Joe, what are you gonna do?
Hey Joe, what are you gonna do?
Take my pistol and kill her before I'm through
Hey Joe, I heard you shot your woman dead
Hey Joe, I heard you shot your woman dead
Yes, I did, got both of them lying in that bed
Hey Joe, where do you think you'll go?
Hey Joe, do you think you'll go?
Leaving here think I'll go to Mexico
Yes, I'm going, going where a man can be free
Yes, I'm going, going where a man can be free
'Cause ain't no hangman gonna put no noose on me
Banjo… is blues icon Otis Taylor’s latest and 15th album and definitely his best. It was recorded in Boulder over a two-week period, with Otis Taylor’s band members flown in from all over the country for the occasion. On drums, the amazing Chuck Louden brings his rhythmic fire along with Nick Amodeo on bass and mandolin, J.P. Johnson on lead guitar, and on the B3 Hammond and Moog synth, the wild man himself, Brian Juan.
The music on Banjo… is Otis Taylor at his best. This is a must-have masterpiece from one of the best blues musicians in the world. Pure Otis. Hear samples and buy Banjo... at the link in the “About” tab.
