Dead Presidents by Little Walter (1964)



And now for something completely different. Every so often, I feature a blues' song in this space. I heard this song on satellite radio a few months back and thought that this would make a great soundtrack song. To what, I don't know, but the vibe felt good.

Little Walter was a hardcore blues harpist. I mean, he played hard core straight up blues and he lived a hard core life. No stranger to drinking and fighting, Little Walter died in his sleep after a night of such activities at the tender age of 37 back in 1968.

And, what better song to play on payday than Dead Presidents
