Jessie Hill unleashed some furious New Orleans r&b heat on this number that was the follow up release to his massive Mardi Gras staple hit "Ooh Poo Pah Doo". While "Ooh" is a fantastic, transcendent track, this is the one that just knocks my socks off. 100 miles per hour, and oozing the type of funky scent that only those who have been to NOLA can understand.
from 1960...
JESSIE HILL - WHIP IT ON ME

A little tidbit for those of us who revel in current N'Awlins music too - Jessie's grandson is none other than Trombone Shorty who's For True is one of my top five albums of the past year. Got to do a show with him in Santa Barbara a couple months ago and his band just funks it up. Catch 'em if they come close.
