Jazz / Blues swampy tune; recoded in the Greek mountains ... with a lot of New York care and attention. Danceable too ... if you can do the Foxtrot

Cross To Bear (Foxtrot In Dm)

“Fly Away” is an anthem of liberation and self-expression, inviting listeners to unshackle their souls and soar through a world of boundless possibilities. With its uplifting rhythm and empowering lyrics, the track encourages everyone to embrace their dreams and dive into the freedom that comes from trusting their heart. WOIAM calls on us to dance through life, let go of fears, and embrace the divine melody within us. It’s a journey of discovering harmony, beauty, and infinite potential, where the only limit is the one we place on ourselves.

Fly Away

This song is a tribute to my friend on the 6th anniversary of his passing. Created with the intention of inspiring others, it serves as an anthem of resilience, growth, and the strength to keep moving forward no matter the obstacles. The journey is never easy, but we rise above the challenges, carrying the lessons learned with every step. 

Let this song be a reminder that we have the power to shape our path, and even through the pain, we can find the fire to keep pushing forward.

Here & Choosin'

No guitars. No distractions. Just Benny's fingers finding the gospel in the gutter, playing 11 hymns for the heartbroken between cigarette drags.

1- Sweet But Psycho (Psycho Mix)

blue-night-hustle

"Benny Plays the Hits" ain't your grandma’s greatest hits record- it’s a barstool confessional, a jukebox jam session where the songs are half-remembered but the feeling cuts deep. Benny pounds the Hammond like it owes him money, pouring sweat, smoke, and stories into every note. These ain't chart-toppers, but they’ve been howled into the night by drunks and dreamers for decades.  

The grooves are loose, the whiskey’s neat, and the past-due bar tab ain’t getting paid anytime soon. No frills, no pretense- just Benny, his B3, with Frankie and Jimmy holding down the rhythm while the room spins slow.  

No guitars. No gimmicks. Just the sound of a man playing like there’s nothing left to lose.  

Drums: Frankie "Thumper" Morello  
Bass: Jimmy "Two Hands" DelVecchio

Part jazz, part blues, part held together with whiskey and a bad idea.
