eric13 - WEAK FOR WHISKEY
I wrote this song a few years ago, but have kept hidden until now...

It was created in a Bushwick Brooklyn rehearsal studio during the writing sessions for the Sex Slaves album "Call of the Wild" and features my Sex Slaves band mates Jason "J/Bomb" Harrison on drums, and Mr. Del Cheetah on bass.  Special guest musicians Santo Fazio on harmonica and Tim Raby on slide guitar.
Feel free to sing along "Whiskey, women and wine!"

Long story short, my Uncle and his band were signed to Atlantic Records in 1977 and "Miss You Like the Beatles" was in the running to be their 2nd single.However, their A&amp;R guy left the company and a classic tale of record biz bullshit ensued.The song never came out...'til now.
A demo of the song was recently recovered from a 2" tape that's been sealed since about that time. My Uncle, J.P., transferred masters from that tape last summer and shared them with me.One listen to this tune and I wanted to learn it and play it. It has since become a staple of my solo acoustic shows, and I felt obliged to include it on my record 'RITUAL DANCE'.

Miss You Like The Beatles

Partially written way back in 2004 in my Brooklyn apartment, the riff was a response inspired by my friend John Law's song"Elevator" from the Banana Fish Zero 'Hits' album.  I often played a partial version on my acoustic in the back of the Sex Slaves tour bus.  Then, one day on tour my band mate J/Bomb called me out, saying the song had no chorus.  So, while driving down I-37 to a gig in Corpus Christi, Texas I wrote the chorus.  It was a rowdy show that night, with multiple encores, and after we had played all of the songs we knew we gave Baby Please a run for the crowd and they loved it.
The Sex Slaves have played the song a few other times at various roadhouses and biker parties through the years, but it had never been recorded in any form until this version.
