Life ain't a Cookie Jar

Nothing fancy this time, just a standard 12 bar I-IV-V blues, although it's the first time we have done a major key blues.

The band:

1922:Bass, Electric, TexasBluesRockSlow12-8 Sw 060
675:Organ, B3, Background Blues Monday Sw 065

I used EZDrummer2 to build the drum track, and I'm playing the lead and rhythm guitar parts.

Mixed with reaper using iZotope Neutron 2 and plugins from Waves, mastered using Ozone 8 and LMC

EDIT: Uploaded a new mix, tweaked the vocal as per suggestion from Tom.

EDIT2: More tweaks, also uploaded to Soundcloud

Life ain't a Cookie Jar (2018, Christiane Spruit)

Life won't treat you kind 2x
tossing and turning and cry
howling like wind in the chimes
Life won't treat you kind
No matter how you pray
turn around or walk away
Life won't treat you kind

Heaven, heaven can wait
Just let me get something straight
Life ain't a cookie jar
just getting drunk in a bar
heaven won't get that far
no matter who you blame
it is always the one and the same
heaven wont get that far

Solo

down down down
down to myself
the key of life, lies top of the shelf
next to the open jar
no matter who you are
Life ain't a cookie jar
(guitar)
Life ain't a cookie jar

All comments welcome!
