Abstract

Where's the Money, Honey? With this sonic heritage of lyrical commentaries about money matters, it is predictable that blues-oriented Jasmine discographer Neil Slaven elected to compile a decade of African-American audio complaints concerning monetary malfeasance. Dire cash circumstances echo throughout recordings like "I Need Money (Keep Your Alibis)" by Slim Harpo, "Last Dime Blues" by Blind Willie McTell, "I Need Some Money" by John Lee Hooker, and "Ain't Got No Money Now" by Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell.
