The result of this later session by Rosco Gordon give clear evidence of the advent of rock and roll. Rosco's style had evolved since his first session for Sam Phillips four years earlier. At the least, the lyrical content of these songs, while not timeless poetry, was still beyond the primitive rantings of ''Rosco's Boogie''. This used the irony of opposites to make its point... a lyrical device he'd first used earlier on ''Saddled The Cow (And Milked The Horse)''. Rosco's well known sense of humor resurfaces in lines like ''I wear oil on my face, powder on my hair / I'm a strange acting man, but I just don't care''. His second reading of ''That's What You Do To Me'' of the title line in each couplet is especially melodic. The song rolls along nicely with the loping shuffle Rosco made his own. The recording features a surprisingly active guitar player. When Rosco moved on to Vee-Jay Records three years later, the song was still buzzing around in his head. He recorded it for that label in 1959, with a considerably different arrangement, and that's when it finally saw commercial release. (HD) (CE)
