Angela (Ooh La La)
© 2019 Kenny Leverett
Angela sings in the morning
Sometimes it’s the first sound I hear
Maybe she’s puttin’ on a fresh pot of coffee
Come back to bed now Angela dear
Angela ooh la la
Ooh la la my Angela
It’s Saturday and there’s no need to hurry
No reason to rush around at all
Bills are paid and there’s money for dancin’
Maybe make that trip to Montreal
Angela ooh la la
Ooh la la my Angela
If I was a poor man with nothing
Nothing in this world would I fear
With the sweet love you have just to warm me
Come back to bed now Angela dear
Angela ooh la la
Ooh la la my Angela
Angela ooh la la
Ooh la la my angel Angela

Wow Kenny! This definitely had a good energy on this one. Really dig the Bodran too. Excellent harmonies on the vocals too. Well done!
Cheers,
Joe

Kenny,
Yikes! This is tremendous!
It sounds like a lost track from The Band... You are a masterclass in songwriting and performance.
I love it!

A superb track Kenny. Bob Dean said, this is Band-like and sounds just as good as their tracks, a very professional sound going on there. Great choice of instrumentation and the vocal delivery is just right.
Cheers
John

Kenny,
Still ON FIRE. Each new track seems better than the last (and "the last" was killer).
Everything about this is top shelf.
Amazing write. Sounds like a instant classic.
Awesome BAND. Love the percussion. Excellent mix.
One of your all time best vocals. In-the-pocket energy (without the "too hot" thing ever). Whatever you are doing....keep it up!!!
Incredible stuff.

Yeah, I dig it. Had a listen yesterday but didn't have time to comment. Good reason to give it another spin  Always enjoy your lyrics, so well written! And that signature vocal too. I see a couple people mentioned a lost track from the band, I didn't notice that yesterday, but it does have that sort of vibe about it. Very good, Kenny, as your songs always are!

Got me from the very beginning - great groove, excellent opening line. Hilariously subtle as a brick - great write.  Love it.

Kenny,
Crackles with foot stomping energy! That`s a terrific use of the chopping fiddle style
and bodhran... but its your vocal that`s the highlight for me. I think you`ve found the way to record/mix your voice with nothing lost now.
Can`t think of anything that could be better on this fun song... except maybe to dance to it!
Robert

Kenny,
First of all, cool tune! Sincerely enjoyed it!
Probably what's really important in my dilettante view is that you are trying different things musically. Meaning, you are not shy of experimenting with lyrics, styles and uncommon choices of instruments for the genres. That is what makes stuff interesting! "Angela" sounds great in all respects. I would not change a thing.
Thank you for sharing!
Misha.

Great work Kenny. The use of the fiddle and bodran is inspired.

How do you turn out such quality so fast? Ooh la la and your raspy voice brought the Faces to mind, but it was nothing like that, it was its own good thing. Keep em coming.
