Black Leather Boots and Blue Suede Shoes

 

It's been awhile since Stinky graced us with one of his themed compilations. Here are Volumes 3 and 4 in the internationally beloved Songs Of Footwear series. The cover photos suggest that he's got kinky boots on the brain, but there's no mischief afoot -- these are sensible songs about shoes.

Volume 3 establishes a firm footing in the classic blues of BB King, Elmore James, Buddy Guy and Junior Wells. For those who got no kick against modern blues, there's Elvin Bishop, Captain Beefheart, RL Burnside and more. This set features songs about traveling shoes, muddy shoes, baby shoes, running shoes, new shoes, and no shoes. If you got no shoes, you got no sole -- and that's sure to make your toes turn blue.

Volume 4 has even more of what you're funkin' for: dancing shoes, rock & roll shoes, soul shoes, and radio shoes.  Gator shoes, trouble shoes, china shoes, chrome shoes, red shoes, and blue shoes -- of the suede variety, of course.



Vol. 4 ventures into New Wave (Blondie, Glass Eye, Martha & The Muffins). It's also got oldies but goodies from Eddie Cochran, Faron Young, Hank Ballard, Patsy Cline, Carl Perkins and Charlie Rich. It runs the gamut from Kevin Ayers to Frank Zappa. Bobby "Blue" Bland rubs shoulders (or stubs toes) with Blue "Oyster" Cult!

PS to Quatermass - I re-upped Stinky's Sound Effects Vol. 5 compilation, as you requested. Enjoy!

  2. Have you ever thought of going into the novelty greeting card industry? You've got puns like 'murica has guns (except it's good in your case, not so great in the second, imo). Thanks for the chortles as well as the tunes!

    1. I never thought about that line of work, MrDave! There was a good article in the libtard lamestream New Yorker about writing the messages for fortune cookies:

      I grew up in a family that loves puns and wordplay. Do you remember Tom Swifties? They are puns using adverbs that describe how Tom said something.

      The best one my brother came up with: "I hid the cheese," Tom said craftily.

      My most recent one: "This is a no-brainer," Tom said mindlessly.

  4. Thanks for the new 'Footwear' comps. If there is another one in the offing, perhaps Stinky can include The GTO's 'Captain Fat Theresa's Shoes'?

  5. Dear Anonymous: The GTO's CAPTAIN FAT THERESA'S SHOES is a winner, for sure. When I get my computer issues sorted, I'll definitely be posting more FOOTWEAR comps, and I'll include it!

    1. Tune in to Volume One, brother! It's got Elvis' red shoes, the dead Elvis' blue suede shoes, The Fleshtones' cold cold shoes, Adam Ant's goody two shoes, KC's boogie shoes, and Betty Lou's new pair of shoes. It's got everything from These Shoes (Kirsty MacColl) to Those Shoes (them crooked Eagles of deaf metal).

    2. Don't get tied up in knots about it.
