I'm always quick to point out that I see something new nearly everyday. Yesterday was no exception. This week I went to Chicago to purchase a large collection and while going through the many boxes of fine, clean Jazz vinyl (check our racks soon) I came across this gem by Chi-Town Blues guitarist Roy Hytower the Root Doctor. This cover, reminiscent of the old Laff and Rudy Ray Moore covers; featured The Root Doctor treating his root client with his elixir of choice ,a romantic blend of herbs, parsnip, Tang, prune juice and rhubarb creating his Fresh Prune Tang. The Root Doctor still plays around the Chicago area, seducing audiences and women with his special blend of both the Rhythm and the Blues. Edited February 22, 2009 by Rooster_Ties Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 Root Doctor, the band I play in, got it's name from that song and it's featured on our CD "Change Our Ways". But we do the version by Otis Clay. I've never heard the original version from that record, but I've seen that cover before. Funny shit. Quote
Cliff Englewood Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 Good grief. What an album cover, what year is it from? Quote
