You have to explain that one - Mara Donna!
I doubt there are any coconuts involved in that band!

 Yes, but new ones are born everyday! This is one style that is far from being an artifact. Blues lives and grows because the fans and artists can't help but give themselves over to loving the groove.

Nice try buddy but you gotta eat some road to get enough gravel to properly jam this out.  Definitely heard better versions.

  Utterly nonsensical comment. Your opinion of this version is fair enough, it's just an opinion after all, but Ms. Taylor had gravel to spare, that's a stone cold fact.

Really?  Wow.  I think it's almost impossible to screw this song up.  And KoKo is the Queen of Blues.. so I'm not sure where "buddy" came from.

I saw her perform .. back in the early 90's.  I saw her with Etta James in the Napa Valley at a Wine Festival.  One FANTASTIC FRIGGIN show.  I think B.B. King was there as well.  I can't remember.. I just remember Etta and KoKo.  

You know she sang "Wang Dang Doodle".

I think each time I hear a different artist perform this song, I think they each add their own flavor to it. Same goes for KoKo.

Just my opinion.

I'm pretty sure that pic on the cover is from the Japanese movie "The Creature that ate New York" released in 1974.

Why thank you, on behalf of the Queen! Yes, there is so much of hers to be enjoyed. It was tough picking one out to upload. The Earthshaker CD is the most mauled and worn out in my collection. Cheers!
