Ain't That A Shame (Bad Voodoo) Ain't That A Shame (Bad Voodoo)
Back to the Blues. Sometimes everything seems to go wrong. That's the Blues and "ain't that a shame." This is not the "Same Ain't That A Shame" number as found on page 2 of this list of songs.
If I give my heart to you (RE-DO) If I give my heart to you (RE-DO)
Tom McCaffrey of the band Distant Towers (listen to them here on SoundClick) was kind enough to lend his skill and talent in re-doing the mix on this song. All I can say is what an improvement. Thank you Tom!
If I Give My Heart To You If I Give My Heart To You
Here is a short number that might be reminiscent of the early 1960's British invasion songs.
In The Doghouse Again In The Doghouse Again
A Bluesy number about when we guys do something stupid and end up in the doghouse when we don't even know why.
Bottle of Blue Bottle of Blue
Although this song has a kind of psychedelic sound, it is not about drugs. Rather it is about developing your own mental state to deal with adversity.
Lady Blue Lady Blue
This song has the word Blue in the title, so it must be a Blues song --- OR --- is it?
Cultivating the Blues Cultivating the Blues
A "back in the alley" Blues number with an "I've been down so long, being down don't worry me" attitude.
It's Not What You Own It's Not What You Own
This is a little Bluesabilly number with a wee bit of social observation. --
7th Avenue Strut 7th Avenue Strut
Hopefully this song is reminiscent of the wonderful instrumental sounds that you might hear listening the great John Richbourg on WLAC radio way back in the days.
I'm Not Just A Brand I'm Not Just A Brand
On one of the afternoon talk shows I heard a talking head expounding on how we should be branding ourselves. Has it really come to this?
Closing Time Closing Time
This is a song that might have some closing time relevance to those bands who played the club circuit or to those that enjoyed listening to those bands.
I Hate to Get Up in the Morning I Hate to Get Up in the Morning
After too many years of getting up at 5:00 a.m. in order to go to work, this is definitely one of my pet peeves!
We All Live in the Same House We All Live in the Same House
The idea for this song came from a speech given by U. S. Congressional Representative John Lewis at the 50th anniversary of the march on Washington,
I'll Be With You I'll Be With You
As we grow old together, this is a promise that I made to my wife. Done in BritPop style.
She's Got Long Legs She's Got Long Legs
Just a funky fun song about that long legged woman that is occasionally sung about in songs of this genre.
Season of the Long Shadows Season of the Long Shadows
A little number that expresses my distain for the winter season of the long shadows.
I Like Eyeballs (Fish Head Soup) I Like Eyeballs (Fish Head Soup)
I am sure that you can imagine my surprise when I thought I was getting fish chowder and got fish head soup. I never had a meal stare back at me before. My imagination got away from me and this is the result.
Good Night Mr. Blues Good Night Mr. Blues
Back to the Blues! The Blues (the music) can be great company when you are down. At least the subject of this song thinks so.
Just Because Just Because
Ah, the tribulations of unrequited love. It's hard to love someone when they are too much in love with themself.
