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

(Written by Terry Reeves)
Terry Reeves: Vocals
Gary Reeves: Drums / Percussion
Joby Reeves: Guitars / Bass / Keyboards & Arrangement
Gordon Midgley: Production and Final Mix

As you may have noticed, this song contains not one, not two but three Reeves for the price of one.  We’d always wanted to record a song with Bri’s son Joby, so working with him on this made two decrepit old uncles exceedingly happy.  At such a young age his musical talent fills us with both wonder and family pride.  The track is entirely his arrangement and it was a very emotional experience for both of us to play and sing alongside him – we certainly had to up our game a bit.
Huge thanks are due to our old mate Gordon Midgley for producing such a wonderful final mix.  Couldn’t have done it without you, Gord.  (Terry & Gary Reeves)

(In memory of our Dad, Ronald Reeves, who would have been 95 today.  Miss you, Dad.)  

Waking to an empty page
A thousand words but nothing new
The written book of War No Peace
What is said we all must do

Mother Nature says it’s always right
No satisfaction unless there’s more to fight

Growling like a hunting Lion
The claws are out to kill
Trouble is there’s no idea
There are many ways that will

Mother Nature says it’s always right
No satisfaction unless there’s more to fight

Standing with a Six foot sword
Attacking every wall
Slashing with a blunted blade
No damage caused at all

Mother Nature says it’s always right
No satisfaction unless there’s more to fight

Traveling all around the world
Not a penny to the name
Knowing how to say why, what and when
But missing who’s right to claim

Mother Nature says it’s always right
No satisfaction unless there’s more to fight

Shouting with the loudest voice
Knowing how to get respect
Whispers heard behind your back
Another heavy weight around the neck 

Mother Nature says it’s always right
No satisfaction unless there’s more to fight

Respecting life cannot come first
You must do what you are told
Just in time the Lone Ranger came
To allow us to grow old

Mother Nature isn’t always right
More satisfaction when there is no fight

i wouldn’t have - in the first place
in the first - i wouldn’t have
i wouldn’t have held back

i wouldn’t have held back
i thought i had time
i thought i had time

its not too late
i thought i had time

long embraces and hoping
sharing in something
warm embraces and open
sharing in something
sharing in something

could have been then
slips out in the comfort
could it be now?
if we made it
warm
again?

cause they’re ready now
if we made it
warm
cause they’re ready now

they’re ready now
sharing in something
slips out in the comfort
do it again
do it again, make it again!

make it again!

oh! oh! oh!

Automata Hurt Too

“Dear Tom”

How’s the retirement, Tom?
Why now so quiet, dear Tom?
You’ve a cozy, small place here
Where a man could disappear
	Is that what you’re doing, Tom?

Do you get visitors,
Or only the odd, lost bird?
Friends are a blessing,
But even friendship’s passing.
	Do you have friends, dear Tom?

Where’re your pictures?
Don’t you have children?
Well, didn’t you marry?
Man, you’re just like a pilgrim!
Searching your life
Through the flowers and barbs,
Searchin’ alone under your very own star!

Did you get lonely?
What did you do then?
Did you have family?
Well, why didn’t you call them?
I’m sure they’d have loved
To hear from their uncle—
A family together
Lends old age a pleasure!

Listen’t’me blather, Tom,
I don’t mean to nag ya’, dear Tom.
The truth’s I admire you
And all that you’ve lived through.
	You’ve lived quite a life, dear old Tom

How did you do it, Tom?
What were you trying to prove?
Seventy years
And six careers
	I can understand why you’re so tired...


From a cop to an actor,
From a ref to a coach,
Have you ever considered
All the lives that you’ve touched?
Don’t be so modest
I speak from experience
An honest man like you makes a difference!

I should be going
It’s nearly past sundown
But I’ll visit again
Next time I am in town
Never you doubt it
I will return soon
As sure as I draw breath
And you lie in this tomb...

I won’t forget you...won’t forget you...won’t forget...
