about

Originally released in 1923 on Columbia records

There’s a lot I could say about this song, but I think most of it is encapsulated by the lyrics. Here are some samples:

Save Your Man and Satisfy Your Soul

Lyrics:
“Men are growing weaker, women growing stronger”
“If you catch any woman foolin’ with your bestest
Foolin’ with your bestest man
If you catch any woman foolin’ with your bestest man
Take a rolling pin and try to, try to kill her if you can
Kill her if you can
Yes, save your man and satisfy your soul”
“If your doggone man is lazy, and he wants to try to
And he wants to try to shirk
If your doggone man is lazy, and he wants to try to shirk
Get yourself a pick and shovel, and make the rascal go to work
Rascal go to work
Yes, save your man and satisfy your soul”

A blues song from 23 advocating for murder, and playing with established gender roles? The past is more familiar than you might expect.

I could think of no other track to set the tone for the music of 1923 than this largely forgotten, smouldering, tricksy little tune.
