Hot Tuna
Hot Tuna is an American blues rock band formed in 1969 by former Jefferson Airplane members Jorma Kaukonen (guitarist/vocals) and Jack Casady (bassist).

The band's name came from someone Jorma Kaukonen referred to as a "witty wag" who called out "hot tuna" after hearing the line "What's that smell like fish, oh baby", from the song "Keep On Truckin'". Kaukonen, Jack Casady, Paul Kantner and new drummer Joey Covington played several shows around San Francisco, including the Airplane's original club, The Matrix, before Jefferson Airplane resumed performing to support ''Volunteers''.

Composition and recording "Baby What You Want Me to Do" is a mid-tempo blues shuffle in the key of E that features "Reed's unique, lazy loping style of vocals, guitar and harmonica." In a 1959 review by ''Billboard'' magazine, it was called "uninhibited and swampy ... deliver dfreely in classic, gutbucket fashion." Music critic Cub Koda describes it as "deceptively simple" and as "one of the true irreducibles of the blues, a song so basic and simple it seems like it's existed forever." However, unlike a typical twelve-bar blues, it includes chord substitutions in bars nine and ten: Backing Reed are his wife Mary "Mama" Reed on harmony vocal, E ...
