Hi All,

I grew up listening to the blues.
In the sixties it was John Mayall - the "Beano" album with Eric Clapton
and "Hard Road" with Peter Green. In the seventies I discovered Albert Collins
and so began my love affair with Telecasters, but that's another story.
In the eighties, JJ Cale and Robert Cray showed me that a blues didn't necessarily
have to be a 12 bar and that it could contain a mix of major and minor chords.
So here I am, back to my roots with a blues track.

The guitars, bass and vocals are down to me.
The lead sax and BV-oohs are RTs.
The horns are a mix of Forte and Edirol Orchestral.
The drums are our own samples of a sixties Premier kit with a chrome 2000 snare.
Live tracks were recorded in PowerTracks.
RTs were added in RealBand.
The whole thing was mixed and mastered in Harrison Mixbus 32C v.6

GET A JOB - BLUES
I was running out of bourbon
I was running out of time
I was running out of credit
And I could use another line
I threw a marker to the barman
I said: "Put it on the tab"
Well the barman turned around and then he looked at me
And he said: "Get a job"

I was down on my luck
I was down on my knees
I was praying the The Lord
I said: "Lord can you help me please
I owe money to the bank
I owe money to the Mob
Lord is there anything that you can do?"
And The Lord said: "Get a job".

As usual, I'm always grateful to anyone who has time to give it a listen.
Hoping you're all staying safe.

ROG.
