B.B.


On his second album, Alex Taylor (brother to James) does the white-boy blues thing with songs by Dylan, Randy Newman, Stephen Stills, Howlin' Wolf, and Jesse Winchester. His version of Winchester's "Payday" would be worth posting alone for this ingenious couplet:

I got me this long legged girl
To help me spend my dough,
A heart as big as your mama’s stove
And a body like Bridget Bardot.


Alex Taylor - Payday [buy]

Godard, under extreme pressure from his producers, had something (Brechtian) to say about that famous body.
