New single "Play God" out October 7.


Lyrics:
 
I was done at 16
showin up for class
I was out there 
in the ring
learnin how to kick some ass
I was done at 16
using my momma's key
it was all on me
yes it was all on me
 
weren't no free rides
weren't no IOU's
I pulled my weight 
I paid my dues
and I showed up 
to enlist
on the first day of recruits
how bout you? 
how bout you
 
I'm my brother's keeper 
every chance I can
I pay my taxes
like any working man
and I feel I've earned
my right to choose
you don't get to play God, man
I do
you don't get to play God, man
I do
 
CHORUS
you get to run the world
in your special way
you get much more
much more than your say
government, religion
it's all just patriarchy
I must insist
you leave this one thing to me
 
just one thing that a man needs
to be truly free
this is the modern world
and that one thing is money
but there are two things
that a woman needs
control over her own body
 
yes I pay the price
on top of everything
each month a bill 
each month a reckoning 
and each seed that dies 
I cry and I bleed
so you can't tell me
no you can't tell me
 
I am a soldier
it's my blood that flows
I'd give my life 
so that this tree can grow
you don't know creation 
like I know
so you can't tell me
no you can't tell me
 
CHORUS
 
I'm my brother's keeper
every chance I can
I pay my taxes 
like any workin man
and I feel I've earned
my right to choose
you don't get to play God
I do
you don't get to play God
I do 
you don't get to play God
I do

Shake It & Break It [Tuba Skinny guitar cover]

The new generation of Italian ska-jazz maestros indulge themselves with a collaboration with the two sax heroes of the contemporary ska scene: David Hillyard (The Slackers) and Fred "Rocksteady" Reiter (New York Ska-Jazz Ensemble).

Each of the guest stars delivers an own penned composition in one of the sides of this limited 500 copies vinyl edition, leading the emphatic big-band into a tour de force in which both Hillyard and Reiter show, each in his own way, their personal expertice and know-how. Two exciting tracks showing that big-band ska-jazz is in full force!

Voici une reprise de Willie The Weeper (version Tuba Skinny - album Owl Call Blues).
J'ai tenté de rejouer à la guitare les parties de cornet à piston, de trombone, de clarinette et de guitare. 
Guitares rythmiques, banjolele et planche à laver viennent s'ajouter à tout ça.

En espérant que vous apprécierez... :)
