Mr. Cooke, if you're nasty

Purchase of the week:


Found this at Sam's for $29.99, a collection of 99 risque R&B tracks from the end of the Second World War up to the mid-'50s. I have some of this stuff already, but there's an overwhelming amount of material on here I'm unfamiliar with, and figured I'd bite the bullet and check it out. Most of these songs I imagine are merely suggestive, with the word "rock" in the title, meant to fill in for another four-letter word that ends in "ck". But tunes like It Ain't the Meat (It's the Motion) by The Swallows and Wynonnie Harris's Keep On Churnin' (Till the Butter Comes) don't leave much to the imagination.

I doubt anything on here is as filthy as, say, Lucille Bogan's Shave 'Em Dry (Google search the lyrics and you'll know what I mean), but this set is from Germany, so you never know. In the meantime, I can't wait to get home so I can blast Doc Sausage's Sausage Rock.
