William "Do Boy" Diamond played guitar and sang expressive, brooding blues, mulling over gone-wrong circumstances. You take your good woman to be your friend and as soon as your back's turned some bastard comes walkin' in. He needs to buy himself a bulldog just to watch while he's asleep, since there are so many evil women, one may poison him. Still, he doesn't let it get him down: "Best woman quit you, don't you weep and moan / Get another high yellow, boys, and you can carry that same thing on". Some days, his is the only music I want to hear. This 7" was recorded in Canton, Mississippi, on September 15, 1967, and he delivers "Hard Time Blues" and "Just Want to Talk to You".
