Talented Recording Artist out of Jacksonville Florida 

Alone

This track was inspired by reading Deep Blues: A Musical and Cultural History of the Mississippi Delta by Robert Palmer (no, not that one). I was deeply moved by the struggle that forced young sharecroppers to skip out on unfair debt, at risk of prosecution, to seek better work conditions in the north - particularly Chicago. Anyone with musical skills, like Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon, found a ready and willing audience for their unique, emergent blues style of music, which gave them an alternative form of income to factory work - the usual fate for such migrants. 

This version of the song has no drums and a very simple baseline. A more rock version will probably appear on my next album due in the fall of 2015. 

For a fuller and more grandiose production check out Guiville on SoundCloud - he has sampled this on a track called 'Take me Higher' - check it out for the difference.

Cornfield Blues  - Acoustic Version

** from new album RISING TIDE BLUES due for release end Feb 2016 **

(Lyrics Below)

I wanted to finish my album with a long slow rock song with lots of epic sections building and fading in the style of 'Riders on the Storm' by The Doors or 'Sister' by Lenny Kravitz. The theme is a well worn blues theme of 'moving on'. 

Also since the title song of the album is Rising Tide Blues I thought it would be nice to leave on the tide at the end of the album. Hopefully it feels like the end of the journey when you listen to the whole album in one go.

Leaving on the High Tide

Gotta be movin’ on
Babe, I gotta I’m moving on
Gotta leave while the weathers fine 
Leaving with the next tide

I hear the rolling thunder
I hear the sound of distant thunder
I know a storm is coming
Leaving on the high tide … leaving on the high tide

Don’t ask me to stay
Babe, please don’t ask me to stay
Must be gone by break of day
Leaving with the next ride

There’s smoke on the horizon
I see smoke rings on the horizon
Gotta know what’s burning down
I’m leaving on the next tide … I’m leaving on the high tide

I don’t know where I’m going … you don’t know where I’ve been
I don’t want to hurt you but I gotta leave … I’m leaving on the high tide
 
I’m never satisfied
You know I’m never satisfied
Got nowhere to call my home
I’ll call you from the next town

Now, baby you can follow
Yeah, baby you can follow me
Don’t know if I’ll be there for you
I always catch the last ride … I’m leaving on the next tide

Because He Lives -

Boss

Jigsaw releases his newest song, reminding us to never forget the debt that was paid on the cross. A hybrid style of Hip-Hop and contemporary Christian mixed together, makes it a perfect song for all ages.

Remember the Cross

Nay The Farmer

This song was aimed towards the critics. The ones who feel like they truely know you, and judge your actions before realizing they have no clue who you are and what you go through.

They Don't Even Know Me

All I Really Need

I wrote this song in hopes it would become the anthem for many who are struggling with overcoming their enemy.
