That Old Blue Rockin Chair- Beth Williams Music

A happy blues written by Jesse Fuller. Eric Clapton did it on the unplugged record. I hope you enjoy my version:)

Here is more info about the song from wikipedia:

"San Francisco Bay Blues" is an American folk song and is generally considered to be the most famous composition by Jesse Fuller.[1] Fuller first recorded the song in 1954 (released 1955) for a small label called World Song.[2] The song was brought into wider popularity in the early 1960s by club performances by Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Bob Dylan, and Jim Kweskin. Recorded covers have been performed by many artists including The Blues Band, Paul Jones, Jim Croce, The Weavers, Sammy Walker, The Brothers Four, Paul Clayton, Richie Havens, Eric Clapton, The Flatlanders, Paul McCartney, Hot Tuna, Janis Joplin, John Lennon, Peter, Paul, and Mary, Mungo Jerry, Glenn Yarbrough, George Ellias, Phoebe Snow, The Wave Pictures, The Halifax III and Eva Cassidy. A "one-man band" rendition of the song featuring a kazoo solo was recorded by Fuller himself in a 1962 concert. This has been included in a Smithsonian Folkways compilation, Friends of Old Time Music.[1]

Topic Records issued the original Jesse Fuller version on a 10-inch vinyl LP called Working on the Railroad in 1959 and included it as track six of the first CD of the Topic Records 70 year anniversary boxed set Three Score and Ten.

Goin' Back To Kentucky (Original remixed)

My wife and I started singing this morning about breakfast.  The next thing I know I am recording this song.  What kind of music is this?  How does this stuff happen?

Breakfast Song

I've been collecting berries and laying in stores . so, i ran into this in the files, perhaps my fave collab. I have, i hope, sharpened it a little in the mix and mastering, basically got rid of the fx.
Lammbone is very apparent,bold and joyful. Rory from Textosh is weaving a sublime harp through it all. I took his slide off the track so the harp could sing a little more clearly.

The nights are long, but I don't care,
I'm hunkered down, I'm like a grizzly bear
and if you don't bother me....I wont bother you.
I'm dug in deep, I'm just trying to sleep,
I've got the hibernation blues.

etc

The Angel From Montgomery

(Angels Called Your Name)
Lyrics:
Woke to the news this morning 
Gods angels came calling
Took you from our life

Could have knocked me down with a feather
Thought you'd be around for ever
Pain cuts deep like knife

Mama just ain't been the same
Since you where taken she’s in pain
It’s hard to watch and hear her cry's

But we know your safe in heaven
Stories and jokes you be telling
Your Irish humour and smiling eyes

Blessed you where my father
We had a bond like no other
Always you where there for me

Even now that your gone
I don’t feel alone
Close my eyes and your love I still see

We'll always be together
In my heart you’ll be forever
Long as I Live and we meet again

In god I trust and believe
It was your time to leave
When the angels called your name

Angels called your name.

Written By Michael Duffy.

Angels Call Your Name - Original Song (c)

I love Spanish guitar and this is totally out of my league but started off with a slow Flamenco style track to get a feel for it just to try....I'm wrestling with myself trying to stay away from the blues in this one and learn all these outside the box notes?? Anyway this is how far I made it after 3 days of playing the same track over and over to get the feel...speed will come in time if I keep playing it but a lot easier to listen to artist that no what there doing for SURE!!!!! :D

~ Spanish 101~( Slow Flamenco Training? :)

You're Gonna Miss This - Trace Adkins (vocal cover)

Hope everyone had a great Holiday!!      This BB King inspired tune just never gets tiring to play....from a Blues legend, BB could say so much....with so little...

I did not compose or produce the backing track.

It's Still A Thrill To Me

Working on some blues tracks for the new CD. I'm not sure if this effort will make the cut but I learned a lot while writing my supporting tracks and  mixing my keyboard work.. I tried also to keep my bass part in sync with the Bass drum.. key for lots of punch.

Moving On


I spent a year
being lost in this city.
No saving grace
just the Nitty and Gritty.

Drifting away.

I failed to find all those
dreams. I'd been wishing.
Ran from a fight
as the reasons
went missing.

What can I say?
Guess I don't play.

Deep in the night
all those demons come calling.
Past my defenses
as my will
is falling.

I lost my way
They all want to stay.

You know I've given it all
and it's still not enough.
I have built me a wall
out of all of this stuff.
Found myself here
on my own

that's now clear.

No use complaining
there's no one that cares.
So just stop the explaining
bout how its not fair.
All of my dreams
going nowhere.
I haven't a prayer.

Once more despair.
Last time I swear.

It's time I run
from this place in the city.
There's nothing here for me
and that's a pity.

Be moving on.
Singing this song.

You yanked and pulled on…..
The Strings of My Heart
You Stole My Soul
Tore My World Apart
Took Control
Right from The Start
Chorus
Me, Oh My…..Well…
You had me
Flyin’ So High
Feet off The Ground
Head in The Sky
Just give me an excuse
To Shake You Loose
Untie this Noose
Let Me Go, Let Me Grow
Let Me Go
Oh, Yeah…….
Looking in-to Your Eyes
Like Staring into The Sun
But you’re a dark, lonely Road
When the Day is all Done
(Chorus)
You are nothing, if not a Dream
But, you’re one mean Dream Crusher
You made me Laugh, You Made Me Scream
I melted in your hands like Butter
You yanked and pulled on…..
My Heart
You Stole My Soul
Tore My World Apart
Oooohhh…..
