In December 2013 Lettuce was finishing up what was by all accounts there most fruitful and successful year too date.  They were all gathered in their defacto hometown of  Brooklyn for a week long run at Brooklyn Bowl and their last show of the year at the Capitol Theater. 

Never ones to waste a moment, Lettuce took their time together in December in between shows to record two new original tracks, “Don’t Be Afraid To Try”, which features vocalist Alecia Chakour, and “Yakitori”.  “Don’t Be Afraid To Try” is sure to be a Lettuce staple for years to come, seamlessly blending the Lettuce sound with timeless R&B vocals.  Alecia is currently touring with the band and fitting in perfectly.  “Yakitori” is classic hard-tiiing instrumental Lettuce at its best.  This is the sound that fans have come to expect from the band and “Yakitori” shows that the direction of the bands sound is still pushing funk to new heights!

Lettuce is offering these two singles for FREE through their soundcloud and on limited edition 7 in vinyl.  You can pre-order the vinyl HERE.  The tracks are also up on iTunes now.

It was a special year for the Lettuce collective in which they played huge dates at Bonnaroo, Summer Camp, the Fillmores in Denver and San Francisco and made it to a ton of cities for the first time, always met by eager fans new and old.  Lettuce Spring tour starts tonight at the Roxy in LA and rolls on through April 6.  The band then will celebrate Jazzfest at their Annual Royal Family Ball before a monster schedule of high profile festival appearances.


Lettuce - Don't Be Afraid To Try (feat. Alecia Chakour)

Here We Go…

Eclipse

[VERSE 1]
Leather jacket open,
Hat pulled low,
Is there anger in his heart,
No
This is rage,
Hatred, coupled with anguish 
Jimmy dangerous 
lit cigarette sits on lip
He pulls on it
Lookin' down at his lover
Sleep in his bed with another brother
Cocks the 38 in his hand
Before tapping the bedpost
To wake her and her other man

Give the drummer some...
[Drum Solo]
(aggressive, 4 bar fast-paced hip-hop jazz fusion drum solo, building intensity)

[CHORUS]
Jimmy don't do this, please!
My lady laid up wit another man
Damn!
Jimmy don't pull that trigger,
My woman in bed wit another nigha 
Damn!
Jimmy you got too much to live for
Yeah, 
well,
not anymore

[VERSE 2]
Startled shaking in fear
Jimmy's lover and this brother stare
Scared looking at the gun in Jimmy's hand
The man pleads
"Look Gee she ain't told me
She had a nigha!"
Jimmy puffs on Cigarette,
Scratches his head with the nose 
Of the thirty eight
Points it at her
Jimmy wait!

Give da drummer some...
[Drum Solo]
(aggressive, 4 bar fast-paced hip-hop jazz fusion drum solo, building intensity)

[CHORUS]
Jimmy don't do this, please!
My lady laid up wit another man
Damn!
Jimmy don't pull that trigger,
My woman in bed wit another nigha 
Damn!
Jimmy you got too much to live for
Yeah, 
well, 
not anymore

[BRIDGE]
Jimmy got a loaded gun
Cocked!
Jimmy stop
Think about everything you'd be losin'
If you do this
You to wild for a cage
Just walk away!
Jimmy smacks the nigha wit da pistol
Shut up
Points the nose back at his chick
"Bitch I'm done wit'chu
She screams as Jimmy squeezes the 
Trigger wit his thumb on the hammer
To ease the gun from lettin' one go

Give the drummer what's left...
[Drum Solo]
(aggressive, 4 bar fast-paced hip-hop jazz fusion drum solo, building intensity)

Ooohhh ooohhh ooohhhh

[CHORUS]
Jimmy don't do this, please!
My lady laid up wit another man
Damn!
Jimmy don't pull that trigger,
My woman in bed wit another nigha 
Damn!
Jimmy you got too much to live for
Yeah, 
well, 
not anymore
