'Blues You Gave Me' was written by Ellyot H. Ray in 2010 in France. This version is one of many recordings to be found online. It's a raw instrumental recording track of the soon to come EP, 'Blues You Gave Me'. Many thanks to John P. for the dedication and the hours of sweat in the 'Sweat Box'.

Blues You Gave Me (John's Studio)

This is one of the first rehearsing session with Hank Jones that we recorded. The song was a little 'green' there. We were finalizing the details of the structure and the blending parts. Hank starts with one of his songs 'Red Chester' that he plays with a 4 strings Mountain Dulcimer. I come in at the end of it with 'You Came On My Way', that I wrote in Paris in 2011.

Hank Jones joined me in a duo project in April 2012. We've come a long way since then and realized along the path that a good number of our own songs blend in together pretty naturally. How surprising when you meet someone on the road and start jamming and then realize that there is such a complementarity between the songs you wrote and the ones he did!
It's a treat every time out, such a pleasure to put on a show with songs that blend in together so well, and I think the people really like it. They tell us that we sound different than anyone else and they like it! It's finally starting to pay off, slowly..

I guess I had to believe in this difference. i guess I believe in it more and more everyday. Much love to everyone met on the road, at the shows, showing support, buying the CDs..We do that a little bit for you..Ellyot.
