The first track, “Snatch it Back and Hold It”? The one that sounds like James Brown? It has a James Brown reference in it! Hoodoo Man Blues was released in 1965, the same year as Brown’s single, “Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag.”
There is a line in the Wells song that goes, “I’m not doin’ too bad, baby / You know, I ain’t got no brand new bag.”
I don’t know how I missed this album for so many years. What a gem.
Sincerely,
Reverend Harris
