most of her contemporaries probably haven't ever even given howlin wolf a second thought, if they know his work at all! pj has great taste, and she's such a badass!
It's funny. As much as I love Tori Amos I can admit she has had many weak albums. PJ always delivers. Not one bad album. Why aren't her fans more rabid?
apathy, old age, children, heavy taxation, hair loss, devil-worshippin' orgies...and...ah ye...TUPPERWARE/Ann Summers parties...all that makes their pathetic lives bearable...and they forget P.J. next album
I Love how the Blues always pops up from out of nowhere. Just to let us know where it all started. This is the first time i've heard this version. And she does it justice man. I think the Howlin Wolfe would like it too.
playing a Willie Dixon tune..not imitating anyone, doing in her stye...on mtv..this girl is really cool no matter if you like or dont like her style...

2x I've seen this.
Multiple times I've seen Ko Ko's old b/w version and I have seen her live multiple times in a , ah...unappealing way.. Anyhow, I chocked on my coffee this morning it is the visual aspect. I respect the guitar playing and get a laugh from it all the: red dress, the voice, the guitair: it is a crowbar in my expectations of blues. Scale 1 to 10, I'll give ah...8.
Why did you watch it then. I see lots of stuff that I think sucks but never feel the need to post a comment about it. Stick to what you like and leave us alone!
WOW, that was the first one that I ever heard . . . it's amazing to me that you hadn't heard it XD . . . but I dunno how into the blues you are so idk . . . I'm a blues soldier, LOL

Her fans are some of the most rabid I've heard of! However, she is more obscure than Tori Amos, if that's what you mean.

I prefer this one to Koko Taylors. Koko tends to scream a lot, whereas PJ has a subtler approach.

Dixon's version is the best - with all band - harp, guitar, piano, bass - that makes the climat of the song.
