(Ready? Yeah)

Well I'm a crawling king snake, baby
Crawl up on your door
Crawl up to your window, baby
Crawl up on your floor
I do anything I want to, baby
Crawl up on your door
Crawling king snake
And I'm going

Yeah, I'ma crawl up to your window, baby
Crawl up to your door
See anything I want to, baby
Crawl up on your door
Feel me coming in
Crawl up on your door, yeah
Crawling king snake
And I wanna

Well my mamma caught me crawlin'
With those girls I know
I wasn't very big then
And I wanna crawl some more
Do you love me, ma?
Crawl up to your door
Only thing you wanted, baby
Crawl up to your floor
Crawling king snake
And I wanna

Crawling king snake, baby
Crawl up on your door
Do anything I want to
Crawl up on your floor
Catch me crawling in
Do you want some more?
Know I want you
Crawl up on your door
Crawling king snake
And I wanna

@Perrin I too love Magic Potion. I made a sign saying "share some magic potion in these modern times" during their brothers tour. I love Brothers too. To be honest there is not an album of theirs I do not like. Every avenue they ventured provided the world with some awesome tunes!

@Lance Adams you failed to mention Thickfreakness and Chulahoma in your comment.. perhaps you overlooked them while typing or you have not given them a listen?? They are my 2 favorite albums of there's. I discovered The Black Keys from their Thickfreakness album years and years ago.. I was stoked when they made Brothers because it meant they were touring again and I was able to see them live. The sound of this cover reminds me of Chulahoma the most. Which is an album I listened to on repeat for months. I am also a huge Jack White fan. I followed all of his projects. The Dead Weather is so great and the vinyl subscriptions from Third Man Records was a welcomed need in my life ;)
still The Black Keys remain my number 1 when they visit this sound.

@outlawblossum This one really has some influence from Junior Kimbrough, as well, especially the vocals. He & RL Burnside were two other great Mississippi Delta Blues-men, along with JL Hooker. Really digging this one!

@outlawblossum as a kid, my parents used to take us to jazz bars (the bassist was an old family friend), and that love of jazz did eventually branch out into the blues (very different styles of music, but both from the same bedrock!).

Underrated how?🤔 You can't mention blues without acknowledging the Delta roots and its legends in the genre. People just throw that term "underrated" around where it has no legitimacy and I don't get it.🤷 Literally no one is under rating Mississippi blues.

A repetitive low key blues groove like this is never going to be one of my favorites, but it's a great meditation and it makes me excited to hear the rest of the album. If there's more tracks with their old school sound and grit, but a little hookier, with some progression and variation, they're going to be so good.

Oliver Kostrinsky

@mvellis its a traditional Blues song that has been recorded hundreds of times by many different Blues players since the 1920's this version though is a Cover of Junior Kimbroughs version if the song

It's a John Lee Hooker song, and they faithfully copy his repetitive style
