His baby left him, and he feels like he's gonna die...good lyrics for a blues song but this ones done more along the lines of classic rock.
Evil Woman Evil Woman
Evil Woman (not to be confused with the old Black Sabbath or ELO songs of the same name) is over 8 minutes of slow jammin' blues...about the 'evilist' woman in town.
15 Below 15 Below
15 Below is a nice little blues number with an old time homespun feel.

Our fans and audiences are served up a unique mix of Rockin' Texas and Chicago style blues, Classic Blues as well as Classic Rock. Our shows can be tailored for your specific needs.Band/artist history
The bands origin goes back to the year 2000 when Jason Woolard and Jeff Wandell formed a small combo known as '3rd String'. High Street Shelter was formed as a result of the duo's desire to broaden their musical horizons, and came together in 2002. Newcomers included Ed Ventura on drums, Tony Ventura on keyboards, and Chris Diehl on bass. The new members brought a vast amount of musical experience to the already well established duo. Ed had about 25 years on drums, and his brother Tony about 30 years on keyboards. Chris, although the 'youngster" in the group at 29, still boasted 15 years on his instrument.
In 2006 Ed and Chris left High Street Shelter to pursue other musical interests. Fortunately the band never missed a beat, acquiring Chris 'Big Daddy' Miller on bass guitar and Dave 'Dee Dee' Dwyer on drums. The new duo have brought a rich bottom end to the band as well as extending the bands vocal range. So the current cast consists of :
Jason 'Jawbone' Woolard.........lead guitar and vocals
Tony 'Big Dog' Ventura.............keyboards
Chris 'Big Daddy' Miller.............bass guitar and backup vocals
Dave 'Dee Dee' Dwyer..............drums and backup vocals
Jeff 'Possum Boy' Wandell........rhythm guitar and harmonica
The most important aspect of the band is that we all enjoy what we're doing, and this attitude manifests itself on the stage, much to the delight of the audience. After all, music should be about having fun, and when we see the audience having fun, then we know we've done our jobs.
