A great song by BB King from his 'My Kinda Blues' album - released in the UK as the 'The R&B Soul of BB King'. They covered nearly all the bases there..(forgot 'folk').

The track was labelled 'Walking Dr. Bill' which was a little confusing as I assumed it was about Dr. Bill who walked a lot. No, it's about financial issues.

Anyway, recently sporting just one front tooth and facing a hefty bill from the dentist to get it fixed, I was inspired to re-write the song as 'Walking Dental Bill'. Well blues lyrics should always be from the heart .. or the wallet.

I think it rocks along pretty good with some nice ham fisted piano in the solo. Will also feature on the upcoming album 'Dirty Work'.

For Spotify etc I went with the 'Doctor' title to keep the royalty situation simple - it's still basically BB's song. Anyway, call it what you like - I hope you enjoy the track.
