Bald Headed Woman

About Bald Headed Woman

"Bald Headed Woman" is a traditional blues song, covered by The Kinks on their eponymous debut album in 1964 and The Who in 1965 as the B-side of "I Can't Explain". The song was also covered by other artists of the time, including Harry Belafonte, as seen in the Bob Dylan documentary, No Direction Home, and The Sneekers. Swedish band Hep Stars (with Benny Andersson on keyboards) released the song as a single backed with "Lonesome Town" in June 1965. It reached number one on the Kvällstoppen chart in August that year and stayed at the peak for two weeks. The song was first included on their debut album We and Our Cadillac, but was later performed live and subsequently released on Hep Stars on Stage. The Fuzz guitar droning throughout is played by Jimmy Page; the reason being, he owned the only Fuzzbox in the country at that time. The words express my sentiments exactly — a bald headed woman would make me pretty mean, too. My favorite part of this track is the opening of the harmonica solo, where Roger puts the harmonica into his mouth the wrong way around. more »

The Kinks were an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray and Dave Davies in 1964.

Their music was influenced by a wide range of genres, including rhythm and blues, British music hall, folk and country.

Original members Pete Quaife (bass guitar, vocals) and Mick Avory (drums and percussion) were replaced by John Dalton in 1969 and Bob Henrit in 1984, respectively.
