If you've heard Devil With The Blue Dress, you've heard a piece of Shorty Long, but you're more likely to have heard the song done by Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels, as that was the "Hit" version. So, with that in mind, I encourage you to check out Long's sower, more sultry version. The version that feels more like it's pedaling sex, as opposed to Ryder's which feels more like it's pedaling a high powered drug. Tragically, Long died in a boating accident, and only released two full albums.

Figured I'd use this blog to catalogue my record collection. I'll be providing some technical information on the albums as well as my thoughts. My collection is non-genre specific. I keep the bulk of them alphabetized by Artist. However, I also maintain a section I refer to as the esoteric field, which contains unusual records, and artists I wouldn't remember the name of if they weren't in this category. The Classical and Compilation albums are also in separate sections.
