Janice and I attempted, after a lot of lyric research, to re-create (via writing several new verses) what in our opinion was likely the original intention, i.e, the story of a young prostitute. Keeping with the New Orleans setting we arranged and recorded the song with a “jump blues” feel fitting the location. We feel this song has long begged for a more bluesy gritty interpretation and I hope we did it justice.
I love this! It sounds just as I imagine an old Nawlins' brothel would have sounded when the song was originally written.
In every respect, I'd say y'all NAILED IT!
