Crimson House Blues- Aphrodite

Gugun Blues Shelter - White Dog

[Verse 1]
Down in the bayou where the gators crawl
Moss hangs heavy like a ghost on the wall
Whiskey nights, long shadows fall
Back when the world felt ten feet tall
[Chorus]
Take me down, take me back
To the good old days I lack
Sex, drugs, rock and roll
Where the fire burned hot in my soul
[Verse 2]
Southern Comfort in a cracked glass jar
Songs on the breeze from an old steel guitar
We were wild, we were free, swamp water baptized in me
[Verse 3]
Cigarette smoke and neon haze
We burned bright in those southern days
[Chorus]
Take me down, take me back
To the good old days I lack
Sex, drugs, rock and roll
Where the fire burned hot in my soul
[Verse 4]
We danced with the devil, but called it a waltz
Dirt under nails, our sins were false
Cypress trees whispered secrets untold
The swamp had a heart, it was battered and bold

good old days

🎵 Chillin' In
By The Mainside Project

Woke up this mornin’, sun hid behind the rain
Coffee on the table, but I ain’t feelin’ no pain
Guitar in the corner, hummin’ a lowdown tune
Feelin’ kinda lazy, just watchin’ the afternoon

I’m chillin’ in, yeah, chillin’ in
No rush, no fuss, let the day begin
I’m chillin’ in, just lettin’ life roll on
With a slow sweet blues, till the evening’s gone

Neighbors talkin’ loudly, but I just close my door
World keeps on spinnin’, but I ain’t keepin’ score
A little bit of whiskey, pour it neat, no sin
Life don’t need no hurry when you’re chillin’ in

I’m chillin’ in, yeah, chillin’ in
No rush, no fuss, let the day begin
I’m chillin’ in, just lettin’ life roll on
With a slow sweet blues, till the evening’s gone

Gonna strum this old guitar, let the notes just fly
Watch the clouds go drifting, paintin’ stories in the sky
A little smoke, a little groove, a little old-time spin
That’s the only way to live, yeah, I’m chillin’ in

I’m chillin’ in, yeah, chillin’ in
No rush, no fuss, let the day begin
I’m chillin’ in, just lettin’ life roll on
With a slow sweet blues, till the evening’s gone

Chillin' In

Detroit Blues Band - Tears From My Eyes.

Tin Pan - Evening

No matter where Big Daddy Wilson travels on this big, beautiful, mixed-up planet of ours, he takes the South with him. 
For more than two decades, he has been carrying his message of hope and unity to each and every show, whether in New York, Paris, Auckland or – in the case of his new live album Songs From The Road – the village of Rubigen in central Switzerland.
The concert recorded at the Mühle Hunziken exemplifies Wilson's uncanny ability to connect with an audience. The key ingredients are honesty, his natural charisma and the sheer power of his voice. This performance from the fall of 2017 is a testament to just how far the American ex-pat and former soldier has come since answering a newspaper ad and summoning the courage to sing "Stormy Monday" for a group of young German blues musicians way back in the 1980s. He's ably supported by a tight and versatile four-piece unit comprising Cesare "Smokestack" Nolli (g), Paolo Legramandi (b), Nik Taccori (dr) and Enzo Messina (k). "I tried to give my listener a small view of the journey, the good, the bad, the highs and the lows," explains Wilson in the liner notes to the album. As usual with the long-running Songs From The Road series, there are visuals as well. The accompanying DVD in the two-disc set includes 15 songs in all and offers a good long look at Big Daddy Wilson in action. 
Songs From The Road delivers some pretty strong evidence to the contrary. And yet, in a certain way, he's right. Wilson's music – like Wilson himself – is real. It's honest. At no point is this man ever putting on a show. "I’m just interested in singing, getting my message out and feeling the people – and hoping I can make them feel me."
