My introduction to the blues came by way of K-Mart. I was 17 years old and had just gotten my first CD player. While rummaging in the discount CD bin at the K-Mart where I worked, I found an album by John Lee Hooker. I had no idea who Hooker was, but he looked like the personification of cool, so I took it home and my musical tastes would never be the same. Hooker recorded a bunch of different versions of "Bottle Up and Go"; other musicians have sometimes recorded it as "Step It Up and Go" or "Shake It Up and Go". The Memphis Jug Band released their "Bottle It Up and Go" in 1932, but the song surely existed in other forms before that. My verses are mostly Hooker's.
