This fiery electric blues number is our tribute to Chicago — the city where the blues plugged in, lit up, and never looked back.

LYRICS

Muddy Waters take me home
I am feelin’ all alone
Oh you know I’ve got the blues
But these days that isn’t news
Mannish Boy shake the night
Hoochie Coo bring us the light
Electric blues fill our soul
Help my mojo rock ‘n’ roll

Que the blues in Chicago
JuJu get your swagger on
Just be true in Chicago
Gotta get your mojo strong

Howlin’ Wolf bring the power
Fiery growl, man of the hour
Smokestack Lightning I’m on fire
Little Red Rooster makes me high
Buddy Guy he got the licks
Stone Cold Crazy full of tricks
Sweet Home Chicago sings for you
First Time I Met the Blues

Que the blues in Chicago
JuJu get your swagger on
Just be true in Chicago
Gotta get your mojo strong

Que the blues in Chicago
JuJu get your swagger on
Just be true in Chicago
Gotta get your mojo strong

RELEASED ON SOUNDCLOUD: October 24, 2025

Tuff luck 

Got sold that dream of a Ponzi scheme 
Hard work n sacrifice know what I mean
Trade your life away to make a few bucks
And all ya got left is a lotta tuff luck

Tuff luck
That sucks
Tuff luck
Aww

To fast to live, to young to die
Without enough sense to ever wonder why

To old to work to broke to quit
Just a cog in the wheel lost in the mix

Tuff luck
That sucks
Tuff luck
That really sucks
Tuff luck

Call My Name - the theme of "Hecate"

'The Minstrel and the Jester' Just a title that popped into my head. This is where it went.

The Minstrel and the Jester

This is the third Texas Tea song from me and @texmex-shaman that has a super dark eerie mournful vibe to it. We are thinking of them as a kind of trilogy that began with "Got a Light", continued with "Black Coffee" and culminates with this one. Each title is a reference to David Lynch's Twin Peaks. In season 1 or 2 of that show, the main character Agent Cooper says that he takes his coffee "as black as the sky on a moonless night". The mood is kind of appropriate for the weather this time of year, at least in my part of the world!

Moonless Night (A Texas Tea Production)

This is a track from a few years ago.  I recently remixed it with some new parts.  This song is why I think I have ADHD.   

You may know the title from the sound a teenager makes once they've figured out they know everything.

" Praise ye the Lord" is an Air form Georg Friedrich Handel's oratorio "Solomon", written in 1748.
The anonymous libretto is currently thought to have been written by the English Jewish poet/playwright Moses Mendes. It is based on the biblical stories of the wise king Solomon from the First Book of Kings and the Second Book of Chronicles.

lyrics

Praise ye the Lord for all his mercies past,
Whose truth, whose justice will for ever last.

Praise ye the Lord  (Solomon - Georg Friedrich Handel)

To celebrate 2000, I took a year off to write songs, novels, plays, and stories - and I've been doing that since. At the end of my first year, I won first prize in the USA Songwriting Contest in the Lyric Category for 'Drum Machines and Beauty Queens.' This led to co-writing songs with many excellent musicians, including those represented in songs posted here. 

More recently, I was one of seven finalists in the Crisis Lyric Category of the 2021 UK Songwriting Contest for 'Lockdown Blues,' and one of nine nominees in the 2021 International Song Awards with 'Didn't the River Know' and 'Blue and Gold.'

For the past two years, I've been collaborating with many talented musicians on Kompoz. I release many of these songs here and compile the best into albums released under Captain Stormfield's Trip on Spotify and other platforms (see links below).
