Well Now – Jesse Rose

DJ, producer, and remixer, Jesse Rose is set to release his next album, What do you do if you don’t any day now. I’ve had to opportunity to hear a couple of the new tracks, and I’ll admit, I’m excited! Well Now is the first track getting some airplay in promotion for this release. I was listening to the radio, minding my own business when I heard this funky track. It immediately caught my ear… wait a second, is that? Yes it is! The rough sounds of Howlin’ Wolf, put to beats, was making me dance in my cubicle.

Down in the Bottom – Howlin’ Wolf

A little research proved that the Howlin’ Wolf sample Jesse Rose masterfully uses in his new track is from the 1962 song Down in the Bottom. Originally written by Willie Dixon for Holwin’ Wolf, the track has been covered many times since, by the likes of The Rolling Stones, John Mellencamp, and Colin James. It’s a good one, and Holw’in Wolf’s version remains the best!

Do the Do – Howlin’ Wolf

This brings me to another little ditty that Howlin’ Wolf recorded back in 1970, Do the Do. I cannot talk about Howlin’ Wolf and not include this song, because it’s just too darn SEXY! With super funky blues guitar, and hot lyrics like this:

Well I know
I’ve got a babe
And I know her
Love is true
But you ain’t seen nothing
‘Til you see her, see her
Do the do
Do the do

Shake her shoulder
Take her time
Mover her body
Like I move mine
When she’s dancing
You’ll love her too
When you see her
Do the do
Do the do

34 bucks
20 to waste
Everything
Right in place
Cool disposition
Love her too
When you see her
Do the do
Do the do

Well, well there
Ain’t nothing like
When you see her
Do the do
Do the do

Well I know
I’ve got a babe
And I know her
Love is true
But you ain’t seen nothing
‘Til you see her, see her
Do the do
Do the do

You really cannot miss this song… and play it for your girl, I bet she’ll like it!
