S!

As heard in your bungalow last night, the song “Rollin and Tumblin’” is a song with a great history. We love Muddy Waters‘ version of course:

…and it has inspired a raft of covers, and perhaps all of rock n roll while it was at it.

My most recent favorite version is Jeff Beck’s version, when he got Imogen Heap to do the vocals. It’s pretty intense.

Imogen Heap seems like she might be up your alley. Currently a moderately successful solo artist, she was for a time in a duo called Frou Frou that really decimated me personally. I worshipped their one single album and wore it out — more of a chill out vibe to this though — it still gives me goosebumps, much like you do

She writes rich, literate lyrics that bear many, many listens.

But back to the subject at hand and how “rollin’ and tumblin’” so easily rhymes with moanin’ and fumblin’ in my head right now. And that leads to many other images that would have been suitable for certain explicit “Lit Night” evenings.

Happy Friday,
