1. Spoonful

   "Spoonful" is a blues standard written by Willie Dixon and first recorded in 1960 by Howlin' Wolf. It is loosely based on "A Spoonful Blues", a song recorded in 1929 by Charley Patton, itself related to "All I Want Is A Spoonful" by Papa Charlie Jackson and "Cocaine Blues" by Luke Jordan. It presents men's sometimes violent search to satisfy their cravings. It uses "a spoonful" mostly as a metaphor to pleasures, which have been interpreted as sex, love or drugs, for different versions of song have varying stresses and allusions. "Spoonful" has been interpreted and recorded by a variety of artists.
