Now that was a proper musician, think he did the original Delta Lady. As I slip into senility my memory fades but I seem to think he was on OGWT or some other live programme with a tour called Mad Dogs and Englishmen. If I'm correct, it also featured Delaney and Bonnie and even Eric Clapton. *seem to think Bonnie was a bit rude looking !! Mainly Joe Cocker. LR was probably the biggest influence on the early Elton John albums, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I follow a radio station WWOZ 90.7FM and they were all over that one. Possibly, Mr Mooney has faked up an entire New Orleans radio station, but that's a hell of a long game for one fictional deadpooler. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Mose Allison - my goodness that is a name from the past ! The first R and B band I ever played in did a number called Parchman Farm which I think he made famous. We did another number too but I can't quite remember the title - something like 'I live the life I love and love the life I live'. Might have got that wrong - it was 50 years ago !!!

chrisp65 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Yep, to be slightly serious the 'love the life I live' line is how I knew about him, it's referenced in one of the absolute best albums ever, it's quoted in 'Don't Fight It, Feel It' by Primal Scream on the Screamadelica. As you were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 There was a fantastic documentary about Mose Allison on BBC Four, a few years back. Worth seeking out. Only just found about his death. Was coming to post it, but when I saw Mooney was the last poster, I figured you'd probably already mentioned it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
