Remembered this bit of Chicago electric blues because it includes a line about a ballgame!

Otis Rush plays a shorter version, but I'm putting him up next with a different game-related song.

The Jimmy Dawkins Band, "Feel So Bad" (1976)

"Feel so bad,
Feel like a ballgame on a rainy day …"

Here's one about another satellite in our skies –

Jimmy Dawkins, "Moon Man" (1971)

Chicago electric blues, with Jim Conley honking the tenor sax and the aptly named Big Voice Odom on vocals.

Hello from the Brain DJ, back from blowing dust around in the vaults –

Jimmy Dawkins, "Contro" (1973)

This track features Otis Rush on guitar. The track is on the B-side of the vinyl LP "All For Business", but not on the CD reissues.

Jimmy Dawkins made a name playing really fast, but I like him when he plays slow –

The Jimmy Dawkins Band, "Blues with a Feeling" from 1976's "Blisterstring".
