This song was written by Chuck Berry while in prison and was recorded
in 1964.  This " poor boy" traveled across dozen states by bus, train and
plane to get to his promise land (California).  It was also recorded by
Elvis Presley .  Remember, Paul Revere and the Raiders, Freddy Weller,
had a hit with it also.  Louisiana's own Johnny Allen also had a hit with
it here in cajun land.  Having a little fun with this one.

Promise Land ( Cover of Chuck Berry )

There once was an amazing magical musical Band called 'Bread', fronted by the inimitable David Gates. Cover 'Sketch' created with all due respect and love for Bread, albeit only a rather small slice here. ;-)
Look What You've Done
(Bread - Gates - 1970)
You have taken the heart of me
And left just a part of me,
And look, look, look what you've done.
Well, you took all the best of me,
So come get the rest of me,
And look back, finish what you've begun.
There is some-one you ought to meet,
It's me, Mister Incomplete.
Look, at what I've become.
For it's due to the lack of you
That I'm now only half of two.
Look back, finish what you've begun.
Come and sit by my side
Where there's nothing to hide.
You will try to decide what you needed
But from where I stand today,
I can't think of the way
Or the words that I might say
That will change your mind and make you stay.
Oh, no, not for all the times I've pleaded.
Look, look, look what you've done.
You have taken the best of me,
So come get the rest of me,
And look back, finish what you've begun.
I'll be done.

DON'T THINK TWICE (2012)

World Gone Bad - Words & Music: Pravinand Maharaj

I was born downtown on a bed of rats
From a dirty faced kid to a mean ol’ cat
Mama said son you look just like your dad
It’s hard being good in a world gone bad

Don’t wanna go where I don’t want to be
Don’t want to say what I don’t really mean
What a lowdown rotten life I had
It’s hard being good in a world gone bad

Gonna pull up my boots
Pick up my cane
Put on my hat
Get on the road again
Hit that trail before the break of dawn
You can wait all you want but baby I’ll be gone

Some get their kicks in the back of a hearse
Some drink blood just to quench their thirst
Me I’m on the edge going mad
It’s hard being good in a world gone bad

Lyrics Black Cranberry by Glen Granthem
No I Can't Find My Way And I'm Done For Today
I Feel The Setting Sun Going Down On Me 
And I'm So Far From Home And I'm Feeling All Alone
I Can't Feel The Colors In My Skin
I Couldn't Understand I Never Had A Plan " Had A Plan "
Now I'm Out On A Limb Where My Options Are Thin
Hanging On The Edge With No End In Sight
I Need A Helping Hand There's No Place To Land " No Place To Land "
SOLO
Yeah The Waves Come Crashing In  ,  Yeah The Waves Come Crashing In
And I'm So Far From Home And I'm So far From Home  And I'm So Far from Home........................

Tribute to Merle Haggard R.I.P.

        HE PULLED US INTO HIS WORLD
	AND LET THE MUSIC UNFOLD
	HOOKED US FROM THE START
	IT WAS WAY DOWN IN HIS SOUL
	
	WHEN IT COMES TO COUNTRY
	YOUR IN IT OR YOU AIN'T
	HAGGARD WAS IN IT
	PLAYED FROM CAN TO CAN'T
	
CHORUS
	MERLE SANG ABOUT LIFE
	THE GOOD TIMES AND BAD
	HEART AKES AND STRIFE
	COULD MAKE UM' RHYMN..MAKE UM' SAD
	HAGGARD IS GONE
	YEA, THE HAG IS GONE
	HIS MUSIC LIVES ON
	YEA, HIS MUSIC LIVES ON
	
 	PEOPLE CAME FROM ALL AROUND
	TO HEAR THAT BAKERSFIELD SOUND
	MADE THAT TELECASTER TWANG
	WE LISTENED WHEN HE SANG
	
	MERLE TRAVELED FAR AND NEAR
	TO SING HIS COUNTRY SONGS 
	IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE HE'S GONE
	HIS MUSIC WILL ALWAYS LIVE ON
	
	(REPEAT CHORUS 2 times)
	
	NO NEW SONGS ABOUT KERN RIVER
	HE WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN…NO, NEVER

WELL, I WAS WALKIN' OUT THE DOOR…
JUST WHAT DID I FEEL?
YOU KNOW I FELT THE RAIN
IT WAS POURIN' DOWN ON ME
JUST POURIN' DOWN ON ME… OH, YEAH!  
THEN I JUMPED IN MY CAR…..
WELL, I TURNED ON THE KEY
OF COURSE THE CAR WOULDN'T START
HOW COULD THIS BE
…..HAPPENIN’ TO ME?
JUMPED THE CAR OFF
…….AS I WAS DRIVIN' DOWN THE ROAD
I HEARD A BUMPIN' SOUND
A TIRE BLEW OUT 
WELL, I STOPPED THE CAR
AND I OPENED THE TRUNK
OF COURSE THE SPARE WAS FLAT……IMAGINE THAT?
…..WE WERE RUNNING FLAT
I REACHED FOR MY CELL
TO CALL OUT FOR HELP 
OF COURSE THE PHONE WAS DEAD
WITHOUT A CHARGER IN SIGHT 
FLAGGED A CAR DOWN
JUST TO ASK FOR HELP
BLEW HIS HORN
AS THEY DROVE ON BY
(CHORUS )
WELL, I WAS HAVIN'
ONE OF THOSE DAYS
WHEN NOTHIN'S RIGHT
ONE OF THOSE DAYS
NO HELP IN SIGHT
ONE OF THOSE DAYS
OH YEAH, ONE OF THOSE DAYS
(BRIDGE AND OUT)
HAVE YOU EVER HAD 
ONE OF THOSE DAYS
PRAY YOU NEVER HAVE
(OH…. BRING IT ON HOME, TOM!!!)

The Next Right Thing by Beth Williams

A little tribute to all the pioneers of the blues. Waters , Guy , King , Vaughn , Lemon ,  

TUNED TO THE BLUES.. by Glen Granthem ( Lyrics )
A pint of rum fuels those leather veins 
Just jump aboard that old freight train
Where lost souls can all be found
Just ride the rails your blues bound
335 in a canvas case Steel strings stretched and tuned to the blues
The blues don't lie and can't be faked
Just like a lawn that needs a rake
A Hamond B3 with a Leslie cone
Full of bite when the brass is blown
In every pocket there's a silver harp
In every key and all tuned to the blues ( SOLO )
335 in a canvas case steel strings bent and tuned to the blues
Blind Lemon his match box blues 
Young Bill Broonzy taught Chicago the news
Lead Belly made a Midnight Special
Muddy Waters a true blues vessel 
Buddy Guy Albert King  Stevie Ray Vaughn and yes BB King
( SOLO )
335 in a canvas case steel strings stretched and tuned to the blues ( SOLO )
Muddy Waters Albert King Buddy Guy  the fathers of the blues

Here's a little about my journey in music!
Beth Williams is an Americana Indie Folk Singer Songwriter – Storyteller – Yodeler – Entertainer – Hippie Bohemian Cowgirl who loves to sing & make people happy with her music.  She is also an accomplished session singer managing a thriving business through the use of her own Pro Tools Recording Studio in CO, USA. Able to "fly tracks" across the internet Ms. Williams sings lead or adds background vocals on projects for clients around the world.

Three of Williams' songs have charted in BILLBOARD and CASHBOX magazines, she was nominated by the ACADEMY OF COUNTRY MUSIC as "Best New Female Vocalist of the Year" , "Best Female Performer", by the INDEPENDENT NEWS, and "Best Independent Female Vocalist" by CASHBOX. Beth's album IN THIS OLD HOUSE was Voted one of Austin's Top Albums and she was the winner of Music Austin's Best Albums Award. HUMBLE TIME RADIO SHOW nominated Beth for "Outstanding Female Songwriter" and "Outstanding Female Performance. Williams is known for writing songs that are an eclectic mix of folk, Americana, country, blues, pop and roots music. 

"Beth is blessed with a beautiful singing voice that has the dynamics to go from a whisper to the full power of cathedral bells." says Austin Americana. Jim Beal with the S.A. EXPRESS & NEWS writes "No sappy writer, no overt heartstring tugger, Williams instead is the kind of person who walks on the sunny side, uses common sense, sees the glass as half full & finds the silver lining in dark clouds"., while Buzz Marcos of TAYLOR GUITARS adds "Beth?s songs are innocent... experienced... beguiling...insightful... Her name and the title of this album should be spoken by every record reviewer in the country." Legendary producer LLOYD MAINES says "Besides the obvious, great singer and guitar player, Beth Williams bares her soul in her songs and performance. This is a brave and good thing. "


Born on Ramey Air Force Base in Puerto Rico, the nomadic life of the military led her family to Pakistan, the Philippines, Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Okinawa twice, all before she turned seventeen. Beth's passion for singing and songwriting began as a child. While living on Peshawar AFB in Pakistan, she happened upon a lone GI sitting on the bleachers of a deserted baseball field, singing and playing a guitar. Beth's destiny was sealed ,and her parents bought her a $10.00 guitar at the PX when they were relocated to Okinawa later that same year. Living with her family on Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa at age 15, Beth won 1st place and $75.00 at the Kubasaki High School Talent Show after performing an original composition. Her family moved to Texas at the beginning of her senior year of high school where she immediately began her musical career singing songs she'd written delighting Texas audiences, touring Central Texas, military bases and overseas.

Wanting to be an independent artist with control and the final voice in her music, Beth started her own record label, WILLOW CREEK RECORDS where there are currently 9 CD's available. Taking her artistic independence one step further she opened a small ProTools recording studio, Hill Country Recording plus Video. "I decided to learn to become proficeint in recording myself and to learn to create videos of myself for promotional purposes." 

Her reputation as a excellent vocalist and harmony singer has brought Williams clients from all over the world who send her tracks via the Internet to add backup vocals to their projects or sing lead on their demos. 

Beth Williams performs at House Concerts, Private Parties, Festivals, Faith Based Events and Listening Rooms. For bookings office@bethwilliamsmusic.com  or  visit www.bethwilliamsmusic.com
