12 Hot Dog Mama (Billy Boy Arnold on voc)

(3:19) (Big Bill Broonzy)

featuring Billy Boy Arnold (voc) Billy Flynn (guitar) Kenny Smith (drums)

"Harpist Billy Boy Arnold's amazing recording career goes all the way back to 1953. The first homegrown Windy City bluesman, Billy Boy is perfectly suited to sing "Hot Dog Mama," a tough 1939 Big Bill Broonzy number that spotlighted the all-too-overlooked piano work of Joshua Altheimer. Johnny captures the essence of Altheimer's style beautifully as the ensemble takes the tune at a solid mid-tempo clip."- Bill Dahl, liners
