Take a listen to this fantastic track from Yeasayer's 2010
release
, Odd Blood. The song imagines what advice Joe Louis's father would have provided him with before becoming a professional boxer. The song gives mention of former World Heavyweight Champ, Primo Carnera. In 1935, Louis took down all 6'5", 285 lbs of Carnera in 6 rounds Primo's nickname you ask? The Ambling Alp. Good choice, Yeasayer...much better than naming the song "The Brown Bomber.
