Biscuit Roller Blues - JTSunrise Solo Bluesman (Century of Progress) by JTSunrise published on 2022-06-02T15:35:44Z The Story of the Biscuit Roller The Blues are loaded with culinary references to sex - this is a form of signifying, which is the use of innuendo and doubletalk that is understood by members of one’s community. Countless blues lyrics use metaphor and innuendo to allow the singer to brag about physical attributes and sexual prowess, and state all kinds of desires, without uttering a single profane or off-color word. That’s good signifying. it takes bit of imagination for a delicate flaky biscuit dripping with butter and honey to become a metaphor for a delectable woman, and her skillful lover who is called a biscuit roller. A biscuit roller can be male or female, though, as evidenced by Robert Johnson’s lyric from “If I Had Possession Over Judgment Day”: “I rolled and I tumbled and I cried the whole night long Boy I woke up this morning, my biscuit roller gone” Biscuit Blues Songs: “Biscuit Roller Blues”- Kokomo Arnold (James Arnold) “If I Had Possession Over Judgment Day”- Robert Johnson “Big Mama’s Door”- Alvin Youngblood Hart Cover Art: U.S. #729 1933 3¢ Century of Progress Issue Date: May 25, 1933 First City: Chicago, IL Quantity Issued: 480239300 Text: “The Language of the Blues” Debra Devi Song: JTS, Open D - Capo 5 (High Open G) Pinky Slide on Brass Bell Tricone Resonator Guitar, Three Fingers and the Truth Full Band Song, “Son of a Biscuit Roller”: https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/H19otF7gwytzyLEG9 Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by Junzo Kowashi Excellent ! 2022-08-29T18:00:09Z Comment by puppylovedemos awesome. thanks for the tunes 2022-08-29T14:55:35Z Comment by James Whiteman Very cool 😎😃👏 2022-08-13T15:12:53Z Comment by Bruce Avery Earthy & real man.
