An upbeat, bluesy rocker, inspired (subconciously) by Joe Walsh and Eric Bibb, more same old same old regarding politics in an election year.

light hearted lyrical sarcasm and original music inspired by a lifetime of accompanying a boatload of excellent musicians.
With the exception of Mango Chutneyed, everything posted here results from home recording in which alll the tunes posted are original compositions of mine, with performances on the various tracks also by me.

Story behind the song
First foray into recording since we lost use of the studio for about 8 months for waterproofing.
Lyrics
When you got no shoes it’s easy to get the blues ‘cause it sure is painful steppin’ around Ain’t no magic tricks or an easy fix for the lost refusing to be found It takes an easy stride matchin’ up with a humble pride to make it through the darkest day Keep that steady pace you’ll finish up the race and everything will be OK Memories are short, now they wanna pack the court with minds reluctant to expand Anonymous attack ads, oozing with hate, getting things way out of hand They could use a little less tea at that Tea Party, they’d like to take us back in time They’re so indiscreet, spreading bogus heat, Lord, have mercy, it’s a crime. [Chorus] I’ve got the No Shoes Blues At first I don’t remember a time when the cronies were so out of line but then it all comes back to me White Water, Impeachment compassionate conservatives all as lame as they could be Wrapped up in Old Glory they sure can tell one heckuva,story, one I’m never gonna choose Unleash that corporate cash fill the airwaves with trash, I’m feeling like I got no shoes When you got no shoes it’s easy to get the blues ‘cause it sure is painful steppin’ around Ain’t no magic tricks or an easy fix for the lost refusing to be found It takes an easy stride matchin’ up with a humble pride to make it through the darkest day Keep that steady pace you’ll finish up the race and everything will be OK [Chorus] I’ve got the No Shoes Blues
