Old Chicago Blues

This was just a quick & dirty 1st recording of the song (no mixing or mastering), with the intent to start working on it with my vocal coach. It's amazing, that this trial version received so many plays, I am a bit embarrassed but thanks a lot for your support.

This track is a cover of the classic blues tune 'Last Night', by Little Walter.  It has also been covered by a number of other blues artists over the years.  Here is a link to the original track -  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbuW_6UiFms

On this collab, Willie and I brought in Gernot Baur to play some blues harp as well, and he was awesome to work with and did a great job! 

As usual, Willie's vocals are terrific on this tune and he is a blast to work with.

Thanks to Willie and Gernot for this collaboration - would love to keep doing these, it's a great deal of fun for me!

Mmm…
I’ve been fooling around
Trying to turn your sad frown upside down
Fill you with happy sound
You’ll never see me crying tears of a clown

You wanna be happy
Don’t wanna be sad
You gotta be part of the best day you had
So follow my leader 
And run with the band
Just take my hand

Won’t you come out to play?
I guarantee I will brighten up your day
Let me lead you astray
Follow me and your blues will fade away

When you’re down and you’re feeling
That everything is going wrong
Just set your mind to believing 
That your happiness is found in a song
Let your heart beat like a drum
Fall in line with the rhythm
Let your spirit swell till it’s like a giant
Throw your worries on the floor
Step outside and slam the door
Come and join us for a while

Whenever you think of me, my heart will be there
Wherever you dream of me, I will follow you there

Well I’ll be your shadow, you’re my sunshine
Struck by Cupid’s arrow, that made our hearts collide

However hard the journey, I’ll be by your side
Whatever you need from me, I will satisfy

Coz I’ll be your shadow, you’re my sunshine
Struck by Cupid’s arrow, that made our hearts collide

I feel your breath as it touches my skin
And then my heart starts skippin’, heart starts skippin’
Your kisses fall like a sweet summer rain
I wanna kiss your lips again,
Again!
AGAIN!
