Black Dog Blues

Black Dog Blues
I'm in the middle of blacked out abyss.
I'm hiding in the dark I been put on the list.
I'm a running and I'm hiding away.
With rain coming its a black dog kind of day.

Caught in a vice, that wont release its grip.
This poison wine only I can sip.
I'm falling deeper, I cant make my way.
With rain coming its a black dog kind of day.
..........................................................................

I'm calling out to you Oh please don't leave me alone.
The skies started falling and the elements groan.
My unique disposition on a black dog kind of day.

Excellent blues - well sung and written.

Very cool. Loved the vocals and harmonies. Guitar shuffle in the back track was excellent. Loved your guitar tone in the solo.

Sounds great, low down and dirty blues type of feel good. Very good mix and vocals shine.

Kenny

Hi Peter, thanks for listening.

Hey Scott. Thank you.

Welcome back Rob!
This song is very well done, I even detect an Elvis timbre in your voice ;-)

Rob

Thanks for listening Kenny.

Hi guys. Thanks for your comment.

Another great delivery Rob. Just hope you're on top of things now.

Nothing better than a good original blues song in my opinion, so many people just do covers when it comes to blues.

This is great, great lyrics and vocal, nice job on the solo and mix too.

Loved it, I left you a review over there too.

Hey VT. Im getting there. Thanks for listening mate.

Many thanks for the great review Dave.

Cool song Rob!! Welcome back, and I hope you're feeling better. This track has a super feel. Sounds very live-you truly inspired the boys in the box. Great stuff! Welcome back! Take care. Greg

Hi Greg. Thanks mate.

Hey Rob, sorry you've not been too good - hope things are on the mend.

A classic piece of traditional blues with a great atmosphere.

Good choice of instruments, a great mix and excellent vocals with super harmonies.

Good to see you posting again.

ROG.

Glad you're back Rob! Sorry to hear you've been ill. Hope that's all behind you.

Really enjoyed this - it sounds terrific!

Hey Rog. Nice to see old faces.
Thanks for your comment.

Hi Josie thanks you for your kind words.
Glad you liked the song.

Great gritty tune. This one has real attitude. I loved it.

Rob,

... very emotive music. There's no other genre that grabs a listener like blues. You've done a terrific job here on all fronts. Enjoyed it a lot.

Regards,
Noel

Hey Rob
a great come back!!

Super blues. Everything goes well in this song.
I like it. A great work by you.

You have not yet responded to me about the dog. Is he yours? It's a general picture?
He's very nice, a good dog.

Sergio

Thanks for listening David.
Rob

Hey Noel. Thanks for the great comments mate.
Rob

Hi Sergio. No the dog is a pic from Google.
I tried to find a pic that fit the mood of the music.
I love dogs but these days they are worse than kids.
Rob

Great blues song. You really got the best out of the band this time. Everyone is in the groove. Vocals and backing are top notch. Glad you are feeling better.

Hi, Rob !:))

and I liked it very much !!!:))
Hope you´ll survive the
black dog ?????


Cheers
Dani

Hi Charlie. Unlike most bands they are moderate of habit.
Thanks for your comment.
Rob

Hi Danny.Im getting there.
Thanks for your comment.

My thoughts exactly!

I started to make other comparisons, but so many people have played the blues, it's pretty hard to narrow the comparison down to any one group... but the Elvis voice is distinctive enough to note!

Regarding what you personally add to the song: vocals are spot on.. your pitch is wonderful! And considering all the ways a 3 chord blues progression can be presented, I really liked your choice of instruments... especially the somewhat dark guitar.

I also like your lyrics... and I will compare them to Jim Morrison's style of lyric writing. A little bit cryptic, but elemental and very good at painting the black dog mood you're shooting for!

All in all a very engaging song... bluesy but not depressing. Good job!

Hi Pat. I always look forward to your perceptive comments.
Thank you very much.
Regards Rob

Rob,

I think this is the best thing you've ever done.

A good write. Very well put together. Super vocal and harmony.

Good mix. It's got it all. Well done

floyd

(thanks for visiting Too Dangerous. I did not want to bump it again)

A great blues number you've penned and performed, Rob.

Quite enjoyable!

Hey mate. Thanks for your comments.
All credit has to go to the new styles, really helps the writing process.
Rob

Hey there Big741.
thanks for your comments.
Rob

+1 (for me it's Jim Morisson)

Thank you Caloo.
Rob

Great to see you back Rob and what a return!

We love blues and the grittier the better. This has
it all.

One rarely sees this type of cool imagery in a
blues number. The write, the laid back vocal,
the guitar and the entire production is
top shelf.

Great!
