Willie Hall (died 1930),[1] best known by his nickname Drive 'Em Down, was a New Orleans blues and boogie woogie piano player.
[citation needed] According to Champion Jack Dupree, who called Drive 'Em Down his "father" and cited him as "teaching me his style", Hall played in barrelhouses.
His earthy song, "Junker's Blues", with its stories about needles and reefer and the Angola prison farm was recorded by Dupree in 1940.
The melody was used by Professor Longhair for "Tipitina" and by Lloyd Price for "Lawdy Miss Clawdy."
Willy DeVille recorded the song in 1990 on his Victory Mixture album.
