Be Careful What You Do - John Brim

Be Careful What You Do - John Brim
2:41
Tough, 1968
Written by John Brim

An electric Chicago guitar blues, warning some lady to be careful about all that talking about his business that women be doing.  This one gets pretty grim fast: "Now come here baby look here and dead in the eye / And you know if you tempt to quit me / That's when you're gonna die."  Lyrically it's pretty trite, if not off-putting, but the blazing guitar and harmonica licks are terrific.  Brim is best known for writing "Ice Cream Man," which was covered by both Van Halen and Martin Sexton.
