"Driven By Dirt" is the 4th in the series of my Lee (Jack Jones) Lucas Project of songs and tunes done with my new toys I got last year. This particular song is by no means new apart from being new to Soundcloud, and is one I wrote back in March 2014 on my acoustic guitar, and even posted a live version of me playing it back then on my YouTube channel here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uks8Q4yif2c

I never really liked the acoustic version, but felt it would be good to do a studio version of it with the new toys, and I have to say it's benefited and sounds much better for it I feel. So much so I certainly think it's the best song I have done in this series so far. 

The song as always has been made as a free digital download @ Bandcamp and can be had here: https://leelucas.bandcamp.com/track/driven-by-dirt

Driven By Dirt (Words & Music By Lee Lucas)

Lee Lucas - Vocals - Electric Guitar - Bass Guitar - Played Fills & Drum Machine - Artwork & Production.

The lyrics are as follows:

Wake up every morning
to a rainy day
things don't get much better
living on your own this way

Yeah life can sure be hard at times
kicks you in the butt
especially as far as women's concerned
yeah I'm all out of luck

(Chorus)
My baby left me
on that open road
for a driver in a pickup truck
she shot off
down that dirty road

Well things could of been much better
if I made the right choice
but my heart got the better
I never listened to advice

(repeat chorus/lead break)

Well there are many lessons to be learned here
and one will always get burned
I suppose it's happened to so many
when their lives are driven by dirt

(repeat chorus/add lib)

Please find time to leave comments to which are always very well appreciated and many thanks for listening.

Lee (Jack Jones) Lucas - Driven By Dirt

I very much started out playing instruments very late in life, and spent much of my earlier days listening to it, rather than playing it. I am very much a self taught musician and regard my instruments very much like implements, tools or devices to write with, rather than being anything remotely near a good playing musician of any great technique. 

I guess I really got into instruments more back in 1994 when I got into my first band (though I did learn to play the Harmonica when I was 8 years old) it was around this time I wrote a song on the Guitar entitled Oldtime Street. The song is very much even today one that contains some of the finest lyrics I have ever written, and very much perhaps inspired me to carry on.

Though the band back in 1994 was a very short affair, it was not long after I got into a R&B band performing Rock & Blues in various pubs around my own town Birmingham. I was very much the lead singer in this outfit which lasted some 6 years. Though during these years the band had gone through several line up and name changes and came to a stop in 2001. I suppose it was a bit of relief in a sense, because it's quite easy to put a band together, but murder to keep everyone happy, and keep it going.

Even though I only really did Vocals and played my Harmonica in the band, I still found time now and then, for my guitar, and my keyboards at home, and I also contributed in a big way to our own compositions in the band.

My tools are as follows:

Studiologic VMK-188 Plus 88 Key Midi Controller Keyboard.

Yamaha PSR E303 61 Key Keyboard (Used Via Midi)

Yamaha F310 Acoustic Guitar.

Yamaha ERG121 Electric Guitar.

Encore E4 Bass Guitar.

Various Harmonicas in many Keys.

Alesis Performance Pad Pro Drum Machine & Pads. 

Audio Technica AT2020 USB Microphone.

Vic Firth Drum Sticks.

Various VST Software for Keyboards, Guitars & Mixing.

Cubase 5.

Ableton Live 8.

Steinberg Wavelab.

Influences are from mainly 70's Prog/Rock/Blues/Traditional Folk/Electronic Music.
