Band from the song "Squeeze Box" by country singer Mark Wills, from his 1996 debut album. The band features barefoot multi-instrumentalist Sweet Marie:
Take a left at the Texaco, gonna see Sweet Marie
She plays down at Jimbeaux's Gumbo and Washtub
In calico and bare feet in a band called the Mudbugs
The chorus makes it clear that Sweet Marie is lusted after by the narrator of the song, an audience member:
I wanna be your squeezebox
Always at your fingertips
I wanna be your blues harp
A little closer to your lips
Let me be your washboard
You can play me fast or slow
Squeezebox, blues harp, washboard, baby
Anything you can hold
