Bluestone's Track of the Day: Blues In The Ghetto

Here's a little something from Pee Wee Crayton, it's called Blues In The Ghetto.  Crayton was born in Texas in 1914, then went on to do most of his recording in San Francisco.  His mellow Blues After Hours reached #1 on the Billboard R&B chart in 1948, and his upbeat Texas Hop had great success, as well.  Blues In The Ghetto is just a catchy tune.  The rhythm section plays the exact same loop through the entire song, as far as I can tell, and it kind of drones on.  I think this is what Crayton intended to do, however, and why the song is titled the way it is.
