Some excellent bass playing with the expert guitar guitar work. A refreshing listen, and whoa, what is this at 1:45?  A wonderful surprise:))

you have a great ability to make expressive works on the guitar

Having a bit of fun on my take on traditional blues.
Playing guitar, bass and harmonica. Hammond sound and drums played/created with midi keyboard through Studio One daw.

My friends they all say, I’ve got to pay my dues.
I’ll never be no guitar man , till I’ve played the blues
They say rock is fine and it can get you by
But you gotta dig deep inside for those words that make you cry
And then and only then, can you call your self a real blues man.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Got me a pen and paper to write down what I’d say
Picked up my guitar and thought I’d play in the key of A
But I just drew a blank, and the words just wouldn’t come.
Maybe the mood just wasn’t right, so had me a shot of rum.
That was a big mistake,  now I can’t even play my guitar.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

I’m thinking maybe, I may of had it easy.
Nothing too troublesome, and nothing to drive me crazy
Life has been pretty good, really can’t complain.
So many have had it bad and can tell you all about the about pain.
Take a look around you and you’ll see you’ve had it pretty good.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Got my rhythm down but I have no words to sing
Seems you got to pay the price, for the blues to be your thing
Lose your girl, lose you job and maybe even lose your mind.
Words will start to flow, when you’re down and out you’ll find
And then and only then, you start to sing the blues.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Not Quite The Blues

Chillout ambiance oriental entièrement conçu avec Magix Music Maker

Something Simple

This song is based on an original idea by Jeff Buckley and Liz Fraser. Sadly it was never finished or properly recorded in his lifetime. Bethany and I thought that the song deserved to be completed and so we set out to do just that.

The full band version of this song can be found on Bethany's SC profile:

https://soundcloud.com/bethanygraceuk/all-flowers-in-time-bend-towards-the-sun

This version is the Acoustic Mix.

There were so many great performances from the musicians involved that we really thought it would be great to really hear the quieter instruments in their own setting. Not only does it give yet another take on the song but it also allows you to really hear the beautiful vocals once again.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it.

Walking The Dog (Lyrics)

Baby, back
Dressed in black
Silver buttons up and down her back
High hose, tippy toes
She broke the needle and she can't sew
Walking the dog

[Chorus]
I am just a walking the dog
If you don't know how to do it
I will show you how to walk the dog

[Verse 1]
I asked her mother for fifteen cents
I see you ever jumped the fence
I jumped so high, touched the skies
Did not get back until a quarter to five
Walking the dog

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Tell me Mary, what is your twelve
How does your garden grow
What with silver bells and cockle shells
And pretty maids all in a row
Walking the dog
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Baby, back
Dressed in black
Silver buttons all down her back
High hose, tippy toes
She broke the needle and she can't sew
Walking the dog

[Chorus)
I'm Just Walking
I'm Just Walking
I'm just walking
I'm just walking
If you do'nt know how to do it
I will show you how to walk the dog
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog

IPG1 Let's Rock NormaL......"Taking It Back"

Been to Venus and Saturn now I've returned 
to set the beats on fire so let the fire burn 
this is IPG1 Spark a fire first phase was the
Beat and the lyrics now here— comes the blaze
When hip-hop went sideways I brought it all back
The styles I displayed as I put it back on track
Don't be afraid IPG1 is back
Taking it back...

Kicking ass with rhythm patterns until now-unknown
I'm light years ahead like another-time zone 
More than you can handle in another-rhyme zone
Thought I was done not till your minds blown
This is how I do it not being conceited
A cosmic contingency mission completed
I rock reality phonies defeated
Hungry for HipHop automatically repeated
Chorus
Ain't no sense in being so damn formal 
I'm  incognito so let's rock normal 
this is IPG1 on the inside track
traveling through time taking hip-hop back

Check the rhymes the style and the literature 
as the Rhythm evolves you'll see the spirit is pure
I'm going to rock the beats like never before 
And when I'm done you'll be waiting for more
traveling through time could be a blast from the past
present or future but built to last
now as the beat hits it knock you out your daze
remember the beat was just first phase 
Riding The beats with a hip-hop groove 
now I'm rocking normal I just can't lose
taking it back...
I Stay alert and always at the ready
don't mean I'm dangerous just means I'm deadly
There'll  be casualties as a matter of fact
Personally I can guarantee that
Cause I rock reality phonies defeated
Total calamity My patience depleted
Empowered by the beat raining down defeat 
so cry me a River cause I'm here to deliver 
another verse to make you shiver
Taking it back...

Ain't no sense in being so damn formal 
I'm incognito so let's rock normal 
this is IPG1 on the inside track
traveling through time taking hip-hop back
thought it was over hell no I'm  back
Run it through your headphones and add it to that stack
of tracks you have that hit like crack
then eliminate all that other crap 
they had the nerves to calling rap
replay it again Because this jam is packed

Ain't no sense in being so damn formal 
I'm incognito so let's rock normal 
this is IPG1 on the inside track
traveling through time taking hip-hop back
thought it was over hell no I'm  back
Run it through your headphones and add it to that stack
of tracks you have that hit like crack
then eliminate all that other crap 
they had the nerves to calling rap
replay it again cause this jam is packed
