The Blues

[FrankAxtell]

A new blues tune called "But I Don't Have You".
It features my new Gibson Les Paul 1958 VOS into the Marshall SIlver Jubilee 2555 half stack.

prescription cigarettes and micro brew
got my creature comforts
but I don't have you
drivin' to the hotel
in my cadillac blue
chrome wheels spinnin'
on the avenue
I got money in my pockets
and a new shine on my shoes

pretenses up in smoke
I exhale the truth
my thoughts clear the room
all I need is you
I'll trade my car in
I'll trade my suit
I'll use the profits
to build a castle for you
the days drift by
I live them one at a time
I count the moments
until I make you mine

Re: The Blues

amazing stuff, especially the lead work. cool lyrics and licks! I sorta found myself missing a chorus in between the two paragraphs/verses that comes back to the "I Don't Have You" line, but this was your vision and sounds great. did you have all those leads worked out, or was it one of those play what comes to mind at the time sorta things?

Re: The Blues

I love your blues playing! I've been meaning to ask you what your vocal chain is? I think it sounds like it's in another room all of the time, maybe that's what you're going for?
Anyhow cool playing and tune.
