Comments: As I am only aware of one Scotty Moore in the music business, I can only assume that it is Elvis’ Memphis bass man that produced these two sides. A-side can best be described as an answer version to Slim Harpo’s big hit “Baby Scratch My Back” released the same year. It’s very similar, a funky mid-tempo blues number with spoken vocals, but less the intriguing guitar part on Slim’s 45. B-side is an up-tempo instrumental blues shuffle with plenty of the harmonica the title refers to. The ever present Andre Williams popped up as co-composer.
