Lipstick, Powder and Paint - Big Joe Turner

Lipstick, Powder and Paint - Big Joe Turner
2:29
Rockin' the Blues, 1956
Written by Jesse Stone

A fast-paced blues rocker shouted affably by the big man.  It seems to be a rousing celebration of sneaking around.  "Taller than the barnyard, ten feet high / Hide me till your man pass by."  Also, he wishes his baby loved him the way his dog does: "Licks my hand wherever I go."  Swinging horns and background vocals give this number extra muscle.
