Great singing Chris! John is doing a great jobs on the keys too! Ah yeah, loving the harmonica here too! Great collab!

I've heard this song on Eddie's 'Anything Goes' a few times now. I absolutely love it. Such a charming song; and wonderful vocals. :)

Nice write-up too. Very glad to see you're on SC. Great song. :)

Thanks to your wonderful vocals and Jon's brilliant piano, this simply sizzles, Chris.  A joy to hear on this sunny London day...

This is great singing - the little things done vocally really work.  Authentic and not affectations.  

wonderful play on word and blues feelings

wish I played in a house band where they played this kind of stuff all night!

Cooking up the heat and boogie woogie with John. I had two things on my mind writing these lyrics ~ memories of working in a hotel in London when the chef set up a wooden chopping board at the far end of the kitchen, and expertly threw knives at it from the other end when he got pissed off with somebody ~ and seeing all my SoundCloud friends who also regularly burn their dinners when "just nipping back" to adjust a track they are recording :-D

Her mashup of  Folk, Blues,  &  Americana  draws on a lifetime of  encounters with places, people, and the magic of nature;  echoing  a multitude of  global grassroots traditions. 
Traveling around carrying her “band” like a pack pony ~ lap-slide, banjo, uke, as well as a few plain ole guitars, she  regularly performs in Australia and Europe.
Growing up in Merseyside, England, Chris was exposed to the vibrant music scene of the late 60’s and 70’s,  and her music is has been influenced by  traditional folk, country blues, and  world music .
In 2016 she represented her State at the International Blues Challenge & National Women in Blues Showcase in Memphis,  and her second album,  “Wailin’ & Raggin’ the Blues” was  a   finalist for “Best Self-produced CD with the Blues Foundation , USA.  Her third album, “Twisted Roots & Twisted Highways” was  a finalist for Blues & Roots Radio Album of the Year in 2018.
