Nutbush City Limits

Single (1973)

Explore

Nutbush City Limits is one of Ike & Tina's biggest hits, especially in Europe. Tina wrote the lyrics, because the melody reminds her of her hometown Nutbush. The duo performed this song at several TV-Shows for promotion and live in their concerts, but strangely enough no live version was released on any album. Nutbush is one of the few Ike & Tina songs which Tina even performed in her concerts after the divorce from Ike. In 1991 she recorded a dance version for her Simply The Best greatest hits collection and for the What’s Love Got To Do With It soundtrack album in 1993 a more original styled version.
