Ok, blues rock is blues rock. Except when it’s not. And i think this is a prime example of that.
What I’m trying to say is there’s tons of blues songs with similar structures; They use the same blues riffs, have a similar instrumental break, and the big finish. But thats just the skeleton of the song. The singer, lyrics, and instruments, on the other hand, are the meat of this blues specimen. They can turn an average blues rock song into something that’s alive. I don’t know much about Alex Harvey and his band, but they definitely did that here. The story he tells is pretty funny, too.
Also, if you really like this song check out Midnight Moses from the same album. Another great rocker from these guys.
