Tuesday’s Tune: Down Home Girl

First written by The Coasters’ Jerry Leiber, Down Home Girl has since been sung by The Rolling Stones and Taj Mahal. The song is made up of some good ol’ country boy lyrics; “Well I swear your perfume you wear is made out of turnip greens, Everytime I kiss you girl you taste like pork and beans, Even though you’re wearing those uptown highheels, I can tell from your giant steps you been walking through the Cotton fields,” so it might make sense that Nashville’s folk and bluegrass band, Old Crow Medicine Show, have done the best version of.

I’ll let you decide for yourself, but either way this song has that Southern groove that you just cannot keep still to. Enjoy!
