Listen to the best of Stax Records on Apple Music and Spotify. This album offers a dozen good-time reasons why. Rufus Thomas’ influence spread as far as the sky. As for “’Scuse me while I kiss the dog,” it may not have been a lyric Rufus used, but ‘Walking The Dog’ triggered something similar: if it wasn’t an inspiration for Jimi Hendrix’s ‘Purple Haze’, then canines don’t like bones.
Even Thomas’ daughter Carla, pressed into service on ‘’Cause I Love You’, is duetting foil to a barking bluesy daddy-o.Īfter the title track was released as a single, on 17 June 1963, the Walking The Dog album was snapped up by mods in the UK, and the bands they raved to plundered it for material – The Rolling Stones among them. He’s fine with a ballad too…Īctually, there ain’t no ballads here, no way – a rare thing for a soul album of the era, which is one reason why the Walking The Dog record got worn out at parties. And he’s got a great voice: hoarse, wailing, deeply human – everybody needs an uncle like this at a family get-together. John Lee Hooker’s ‘Boom Boom’ gets extra boom-chitty-boom. He draws plenty from the R&B sounds of New Orleans: his version of ‘Ya Ya’ is the equal of Lee Dorsey’s, and his cut of Jesse Hill’s ‘Ooh-Poo-Pah-Doo’ outshines the original. He has personality by the bucketful, and hawks songs like a market trader shifting gen-u-wine Rolexes.
Thomas knows how to stop stuff from getting dull. But no! Think of all those years spent as an entertainer. We have re-invented everyday, practical dog products, with functionality foremost, making them exciting and stylish through design, and importantly to us. Earlier this month, in another photo of Rufus hanging over his gate, she admitted, This new family. From gorgeous beds to beautiful bowls, clever storage to brilliant bags, Poppy & Rufus let you choose exquisitely made, incredibly useful products you won’t need, or want, to hide away. Stafford took to Instagram with an adorable photo of Rufus, wet from head to toe, and said, This dude just wants to play in mud puddles. So this here (46-year-old teenager’s) debut album has exhortations to do ‘The Dog’, the ‘Mashed Potatoes’, the monkey (‘Can Your Monkey Do The Dog’) and the title tune. Her dog Rufus, like so many other four-legged friends, loves to enjoy the weather rain or shine. But once he’d broken through with Stax, he never went away, providing dance-craze soul tunes long after dance crazes were a retro thing. He’d already had an on-off relationship with the R&B chart for a decade, providing Sun records with a hit – and a lawsuit claiming copyright infringement – with ‘Bear Cat’ in 1953, a reply to Big Mama Thornton’s ‘Hound Dog’.
Born in 1917, he’d earned a decent living around Memphis as an MC, dancer, radio DJ and wisecrackin’ theatre act, and every one of those skills came in handy when he made his pop breakthrough with the album’s title track in 1963. We look forward to seeing all of our incredible teammates on the big day for some fun, festivities and fundraising.Rufus Thomas was no pup when Walking The Dog was released.
