Squeeze My Lemon: A Collection of Classic Blues Lyrics

Written & Compiled by Randy Poe

Foreword by B.B. King

“They call it stormy Monday, but Tuesday’s just as bad.
Wednesday’s worse, and Thursday’s also sad.”

There’s a lot more to the blues than three chords played on an old beat-up guitar. Squeeze My Lemon is a collection of some of the best blues lines ever recorded. From birth (“Born under a bad sign/I’ve been down since I began to crawl”) to death (“Everybody wants to go to heaven/But nobody wants to die”) and everything in between, this volume quotes classic blues phrases by songwriter/artists B.B. King, Bessie Smith, Muddy Waters, T-Bone Walker, Robert Johnson and many, many others.

Compiled by award-winning author/Grammy-nominated record producer Randy Poe, Squeeze My Lemon: A Collection of Classic Blues Lyrics also features classic photos of many leading blues artists.

A great gift book, it is highly entertaining not only for blues lovers, but for anyone who appreciates great lyrics. Categorized by subject matter (Love - Or the Lack Thereof, Blues and Booze, Blues Behind Bars, Make Mine a Double Entendre, etc.), Squeeze My Lemon is a book you’ll return to - and quote from - again and again.
