Track 0028: ST. LOUIS BLUES (Hodgson/Charlton) 3:34 (PURITY) (15th May 1973)
Musicians: John Hodgson – piano, Michael Charlton – piano, kazoo, drums, lead vocals
Recorded: Langley Studios (room 1) mono cassette recorder
Blues wailing? You bet! I was delighted to work out a credible blues riff on the piano, and we milked it by using it on at least three songs around this time.
I supplied the bass blues riff on the piano, and Mike became a multi-instrumentalist, playing some high end piano chords, some kazoo that was a kind of mouth organ substitute, some perfunctory percussion, and one of his best vocal performances ever, wailing the blues with surprising authenticity.
