The Mystrals are an all-female, blues and country, roots rock band from Los Angeles, CA. A cold, dry northerly wind of the Mediterranean provinces of France, th
A cold, dry northerly wind of the Mediterranean provinces of France, the mistral is unpredictable - a feminine force. The Mystrals can be just as unpredictable - twists and turns of rockin' blues and toe-tappin' soul with classic rock and whatever requests they can "pull out of the hat". These women are talented, versatile musicians who can show you a good time! Donna Owen was born in Dallas, TX, and raised in Berkeley, CA. She won "best female vocalist" at the 1993 L.A. Music Awards, an awards show for local unsigned talent. Her other talents include thrift-store shopping (finding vintage clothing for the band), and playing the harmonica without smearing her lipstick. Amy Crittenden is from Colorado Springs, CO. She has a BA degree in Music, and is a PIT grad. Before moving to LA, she was in another all-female band, Rare Form, who appeared on MTV's Basement tapes in 1988. She endorses Pearl Drums and Pro-Mark Sticks. check out our website at: http://mystrals.com

Lyrics
Riches to Rags You can’t say what the future will bring Fortune’s won and lost with your name's familiar ring And you can't stay in the limelight forever It’s been too long since you were with it and there's a fool born every minute Chorus: It's a long way down from your limousine to the underground and riches to rags. Riches to rags and it's a long way home from the known to the unknown and riches to rags riches to rags Once a jester was a king for a day he gave the beggars horses and watched them ride away while his servants waited on his every wish they were granted as he spoke until his dream went up in smoke...it disappeared Chorus repeat chorus (last lines changed to: and It's a long way home when you're goin' there alone) copyright 1992 Acoustic Perfume Music
