Wolf Teeth - JD McPherson

Wolf Teeth - JD McPherson
2:56
Signs & Signifiers, 2011
Written by JD McPherson and Jimmy Sutton

A stuttering neo-rockabilly-blues number, with clattering percussion, piano trills, and vocals that draw from Tom Waits and Screamin' Jay Hawkins.  The lyrics are a sort of big bad wolf come on that on paper seem to have been thought up on the spot, but McPherson's rabid delivery sells it.  "Running through the woods / Chasin' red hood / Spendin' money like a pauper / When the beggin' gets good."
