Straight outta LA.. with a taste of Texas!

We specialize in real live rock & roll, genuine blues, imitation reggae and serious comedy.

I began my musical life on clarinet and sax in 1963. I grabbed a guitar when the Monkees first came on TV (I was a kid, forgive me).

Story behind the song

Every once in a while you find yourself married to a psycho-hooker in Southern California. When the smoke clears you get the hell out of there and write this song...

Lyrics

(chorus) Ive been down, down in Devil Town
Ive been pushed around this Devil Town
And I aint gonna stay in Devil Town

I have had my back against the wall and I have been so low I couldnt crawl
I remember purple haze and I know I seen better days
Before I sold my soul in Devil Town
Livin here just takes your life away, Devil Town dont care how hard you pray
Wont take long for you to know down and out is status quo
Nuthin good will come from Devil Town

(chorus)

Devil town just tears you up inside
It takes away your will to live, your heart, your soul, your spirit and your pride

Guess its time I lived my life alone, packed and headed out for parts unknown
I aint even lookin back, I got my mirror painted black
And I just say goodbye to Devil Town

(chorus)
