I'm a guitarist, singer, and songwriter from central Kentucky. My music is a mix of many different influences; from the country and western I heard as a child to some stuff I heard yesterday. I was a full time, working musician for over twenty years; doing clubs and concerts all over the eastern U.S., but mainly in Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, and Florida. I have played every kind of venue; from the smallest, seediest club to 10,000 seat concert halls. Loved every minute of it. I also spent many hours in various studios as both musician and producer on a variety of projects. I am now a part time musician; I divide my musical time between writing and recording my own songs and playing with a great bunch of musicians in a band called "The Grandees". I write songs primarily to make you shake your money maker. I'm not deep, and I'm certainly no virtuoso. I just want you to have a good time. The songs I have here are from my second solo CD, titled "The Twisted Tale Of The Honky Tonk Monkey", which is available at CDBaby.com and my upcoming CD "Bad Choices Make Good Stories". My first CD, "All Night Radio", is available at CD Baby and fine CD discount bins everywhere. Thank you for visiting, and... TURN IT UP!!!!!

Story behind the song
I've always loved this song. I don't as a rule do covers, but while just jamming on this in the studio one evening I decided it would be a lot of fun to try it. Many thanks to the folks at Universal Music Group and The Harry Fox Agency for their assistance. License# 1135185525
Lyrics
My friends feel it's their appointed duty They keep tryin' to tell me all you want to do is use me My answer to all this use me stuff I wanna spread the news That if it feels this good gettin' used You just keep on usin' me Until you use me up My brother, he sat me right down and he talked to me He told me I ought not let you just walk all over me And I'm sure he meant well But when our talk was through I said "Brother, if you only knew You'd wish that you was in my shoes" You just keep on usin' me Until you use me up Sometimes it's true you really do abuse me You get me in a crowd of high class people And then you act real rude to me But baby when you love me I can't get enough I wanna spread the news That if it feels this good gettin' used You just keep on usin' me Until you use me up
