I've been working on this for a while, and a few times I thought seriously about just hitting "DELETE" on this project but, I figured, what could go wrong? Post it!!

This has a few BB tracks, I think 2 Hammond B3 tracks... 674 on rhythm and the lead work is 3993.
The drums and bass I believe are something other than BB or me. I toyed with using Jamstix for the drums which sounded really nice but... I got lazy.

The guitars, 4 tracks and vocals, 2 tracks are me. Guitars are the Tele & the SG through the Quilter.

It rocks pretty hard so hang on.


Bad Case of the Blues


The Lyrics:

Bad case of the blues


Woke up this morning my house was really cold
Heart heavy like an anchor my body feeling old
Thought I had it bad but it got much worse
Sometimes you need a good day just to break that curse

Sky's turning gray and the rain starts to fall
Life's one big circus and I'm dropping the ball
Thought the worst was over but it's hard to see
When a bad case of the blues got a hold on me

[Chorus]
Nothing ever works out, I knew it all along
You think you got it easy then it all goes wrong
When you’re down in the dirt and you always lose
When nothing brings good news, you got a bad case of the blues


Neighbors all staring cause my roof's caving in
Car won't start I gotta jump it again
Sinkhole in the yard and the dog's run away
There's a sadness in the struggle when you live day to day

Every silver lining got a cloud creeping by
Ain't no point in fighting when you're too tired to try
So you fight against the pain but it carry's you on
They say the darkest hour is, just before the dawn

[Chorus]
Nothing ever works out, I knew it all along
You think you got it easy then it all goes wrong
When you’re down in the dirt and there's more bad news
When nothing brings good news you get a bad case of the blues
