12 Bars' Booze on Soundcloud
12 Bars' Booze on YouTube


A song suggesting that music is a better healer that booze.

File:12 Bars' Booze.SGU
Key=Dm , Tempo 69, Length (m:s)=3:56

Style is _MONDAY.STY (Slow Swing 8ths Blues)

RealTracks in song: 2733:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm BluesSlow128Mike Sw 065
RealTracks in style: 565:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Blues Monday Sw 065
RealTracks in style: ~569:Guitar, Resophonic, Rhythm Blues Delta Sw 065
RealTracks in song: ~675:Organ, B3, Background Blues Monday Sw 065
RealDrums in style:Nashville128^08-a:Snare, Hihat , b:Snare, Ride was used in the redesign in EZDDrummer.
Dave Bell (Blue Attitude) played guitar. I played bass and sang.

12 Bars' Booze

Everybody's saying, "I told you so."
So much so I come to believe.
All this pain they can't begin to know.
Oh, why won't they just let me grieve?
How am I to live without you? Drown it out with 12 bars' booze?

You held my heart and then you let it fall.
And now they see it's torn in half.
You brought me love and then you took it all.
So now my life's an empty laugh.
Wash away this pain without you? Soak myself with 12-bars' booze?

You never told me you loved me. So why didn't I have a clue?
And when they told me you left me, why did I chase after you?

Everybody's saying I play like hell,
and that's the way I feel inside.
I play until my fingers start to swell.
The pain of loss I need to hide.
There's no time to drink about you. I pour myelf in 12-bar blues.
So down the drain with 12-bars' booze.

INTRO-- Dm7 Gm7 Gm7 Am7

V-- (Dm7 Gm7 Gm7 Dm7)2
Am7 E7 Gm7 Am7

INTERLUDE-- Dm7-Gm7 Dm7-Am7...

BR-- (Gm7 Dm7)3 Bb7 Am7...

END-- Gm7...-Am7...=Am7... Dm7...


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Marty.
You two are the blues in twos.

The line: "I play until my fingers start to swell".
Reminds me of the time when I was playing bass guitar in a band and lost my pick (I always played with one) and had to play with my thumb.
After an hour or so I noticed blood was dripping onto the stage from my sore thumb. eek
Sounds great by the way.

Marty, slinky and cool song! Love your vocals, and Dave's guitar cuts like a knife. Funny, knew this was Dave within the first three notes. You two really sound great jammin' the blues together!.

Boys! You both outdid yourselves on this one!

Gorgeous opening, Dave. Fire fills. Your best solo ever (I think).
And that tone. Ya sprinkled some magic on that somehow. Near perfect (on the assumption "perfection" is never found).

Marty's Bass is just as Big. And all the support anyone would ever need. Beautiful.

Love the write.
Beautiful mix.

Zowie! this is good!!!!!

Your vocal is laced with emotion. And so is Dave's guitar. The the bass, as always, is magnificent. Darn good song.

Thanks so much, Bob. It's a good thing Dave's guitars are fireproof cuz his fingers are on fire.

HAHAHA. Thanks so much for this comment, Vic. Seems you went way beyond swelling that night. I pretty much only use my index finger and occasionally add the thumb. Guitar player friend once used Gorrilla Snot or something. On the break he couldn't let go of his whiskey glass --he blamed his sticky fingers.

Thanks, Ron. Yeah, Dave elevated the song so well the slinky went UP the steps.

That is a clever lyric and a sentiment we much agree with.

That’s some passionate/soulful singing and playing by you and Dave!
The smoke all around the guitarist in the vid during Dave’s smoking solo was great.

No need to parse this any more.
Simply stated it is an excellent blues tune.
And, no surprise, we love it!
Well, one more comment smile Great mix.

Well, not sure what happened, but these 4 replies below are recreated from ones I posted early this morning. Noticed they were probably never posted when I came back to look for new songs posted, which I now see so will be back soon.

Hmm... I remember previously saying something like WOW, what a wonderful compliment, Floyd, Then I agreed with ya about Dave, and gushed on about something... Point is, I really really appreciate you listening and liking what you hear, Floyd.

Thanks, Scott. Seems I always play the charachter in the song, and Dave never has trouble getting into his role.

Thanks, Mario. I think I said something about you living equadistant to Dave and me, and how it would be great to show up for a jam with you and Ron some Sunday. We'd call the song Pipe Dream.

Marty,

Great video as always.
So I can really understand the lyrics.
Dave's guitar and your vocals are in perfect sync.
The chord progression is a little different from the usual blues chord progression, but I really feel the blues in this song.
Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.

Best regards.

You two always make great music. Dave's guitar smokes through cones in my speakers. Great playing ([*****] usual), Dave!

Marty, your unique vocals are terrific. Sounding great. And your bass lines are always top notch. You have a great touch and sense of what works for each song.

Great song, great arrangement, super presentation!

Thanks, J&B. You guys are my second favorite Blues band, tied with Blue Attitude except for a certain bias. When you guys preach, I sit in the front row of the choir. Amen.

Thank you, Elliott. Tried writing about 12 bars of TNT that blew, but this was easier. hehe

Thanks, David. The Blues have crept their way into our fingers, and they demand release at times. Dave makes it work. I like how music uses work as a synonym for play.
