Slim Harpo -- Jody Man

[@mikegreenway7724]

I grew up listening to him in high school , I am 80 now still a thrill to listen to

[@oker59]

If Slim Harpo had only lived longer(something that can be said for so many!). He was clearly transitioning from fun blues/rock to serious blues/rock. He probably would have played both!

Took basic at Ft Polk, LA. in the late 60's...at that time Jody was the guy who took your girl while you was in the Army...it was a marchin' riff... just to rub it in.

Ain't no use in lookin' back. Jody's got your Cadillac. Ain't no use in lookin' down. Ain't no discharge on the ground!

Jody is a truncation of Job Deferment. Jodys avoided the draft by claiming to have an essential civilian skill that would allow them to better support the nations by staying at home. Then when all the other men were off at war, the Jodys found themselves in a target rich environment with little competition.

"Jody" is a generalized term meaning: any man who stays home while everyone else goes to war. The term specifically dates back to black soldiers in WWII. They took a character from old blues songs named Joe the Grinder (or Joe D. Grinder) who would steal the ladies of inmates and soldiers, and clipped his name to Jody. That's why they say, "Jody's back home, f*cking your girlfriend."

sugarmamaaa, I heard something close. JO( b ) DE (ferment) was supposed to be a program to keep people in vital jobs at home during war. Since most of the men were off fighting, the ones left at home were in high demand.

That sure is a mean blues by a man I know from way more mellow stuff Who's that guitar, Slim himself or Lightning (who used to be his music boss before Harpo started out making a name for himself)

[@GregParker]
