by Mark Courter. This sort of thing has been done a lot. Now I've done it too. Another in my anti-blues series. I did vocals, guitars, bass and drums, and mixed it. As usual, it is not Mastered.

Everybody and their brother is doing it now: writing, performing and recording at home. I do it, and, in fact, my brother does too. In my case, I play guitar, bass, dabble with keyboards, mandolin, and banjo, and sing. Furthermore, I've even built two my guitars and a bass, that last of which I gave to my brother. I do it all for fun and the love of music, with no commercial aspirations whatsoever.. My gratitude to the people at the Cakewalk Forum for all their valuable advice and criticism.

Lyrics
I been down that long hard road Just like my brother man Every time I get ahold of something Someone snatch it out of my hand I been locked up, knocked down, rode hard and pushed round But I never backed down Always felt a day would come When I could find some home ground I’m waiting for the day When things finally get a little better, not worse When I finally get what I’m after I’ll have the blues in reverse Been down so long it’s got to be a sin Nobody knows the troubles I been in Work my fingers right down to the bone Never have time to be nothing but alone got to go forth each and every day With a black cloud over my head The effort it takes just to stay alive Leave me feeling half dead I’m looking for a way Finally to rid myself of this curse When I finally get what I’m after I’ll have the blues in reverse A lifetime of trial and tribulation To get where I am today Maybe I found a silver lining To help me on my way Gotta a fine woman by my side Along this vale of tears Says she’ll go along for the ride And alleviate my fears When it comes to hard times I can recite you chapter and verse I finally got what I’m after I got the blues in reverse

Mark, guit is shining as always, great solo. Nice writing and bluesy vocals. IMHO I would put the vocals just slightly more back in the mix and up the drum 2 to 3 db. The bass sounds a little, for lack of a better work, "squashed"; maybe a little too much low end? Nice work buddy!
