Originally recorded by Hop Wilson in about 1940, “Black Cat Bone” has become something of an acoustic and electric blues classic. There are a few nontraditional lyrics in this version. Hop’s version and various others can also be found on YouTube. I’m unaware of any copyright; if there is any copyright on this song and the holder would like the song removed, of course I will do so. A black cat bone was a charm which gave its owner powers over a significant (or maybe insignificant) other. For instance, it could cause endless frustration, as when a gent tries to make his girlfriend happy, but everything he does is wrong; it could make him incapable of loving other women, etc. Such charms could sometimes be defeated by tying a “Mercury dime” (a pre-FDR dime, with the face of Athena on it) around your ankle, or making a red ink out of the root of a plant called “dragon’s blood” and using it to write your lover’s name nine times on a piece of parchment.

BB King plays live guitar solo. This came from the extras on the DVD The Road to Memphis: www.pbs.org And the only other complete performance by BB on the extras is Key to the Highway, which doesn’t have this incredibly searing guitar and is in fact pretty “lite”.
