The Curse

They came across the river
from miles and miles around
they gathered by the church house
and burned it to the ground
there’s fire in the city
and hooded men in gowns
they’re dressed in white like Jesus
but the Devil brought them down
the Devil brought them down..
they’re coming out to get you
with fire in their hands
they wave the book of virtue 
but there’s no mercy in this land
no mercy in this land
ohh..

The dirt you rest your head on
is darker than your skin
and the man who owns the mansion
he just raped sweet Maybelline  
you’re looking out the distance
salvation’s not in sight
there's no putting up resistance
your heart has given up the fight
it’s given the fight 
the hound dogs howl like demons 
the swamp is thick as tar
you’re running north to freedom
but you won’t get very far
you won’t get very far
ohh....

The Curse (Twelve Years A Slave) (Original Composition)

Famous for his ‘piano-sounding’ guitar, Blind Blake was one of the greatest blues guitarists that ever lived. A true pioneer of ‘finger-style’ guitar, he was also a zealous musical experimenter who re-defined the limitations of the guitar.  Enjoy his six-string wizardry on such re-mastered classics as ‘West Coast Blues’, ‘He’s In The Jailhouse Now’ and ‘Diddie Wah Diddie’.

For more information, visit: www.worldmusic.net/blindblake

Known as both a six-string wizard and a gregarious hard-living drinker, Blind Blake’s complex and intricate fingerstyle techniques and diverse repertoire have influenced and inspired generations of players, including Reverend Gary Davis, Blind Willie McTell, Ry Cooder and John Fahey.  He is credited as one of the earliest practitioners of Piedmont finger style, characterized by a picking approach in which an alternating thumb-bass pattern supports a melody played using the treble strings creating that memorable ‘boom-chick, boom-chick’ pattern. 

His first solo record, released by Paramount, included a B-side cut of ‘West Coast Blues’, heard on this Rough Guide. This early tune has all the hallmarks of what was to become Blind Blake’s calling-card guitar style: it’s an upbeat rag number and features Blake’s natural, in this case almost recitative-like, singing tone. ‘West Coast Blues’ is also cited as the first song to include the word ‘rock’. 

‘Come On Boys Let’s Do That Messin’ Around’ includes one of the first scat solos ever recorded. Unlike some of his predecessors, Blake was happy to experiment allowing his music to dance the line between blues, rag and hokum. On ‘Dry Bone Shuffle’, Blake’s line-up includes a bones player. The bones are an instrument made, quite simply, from a pair of animal bones or wood. The clickety-click articulated rhythm made by the instrument is heard rattling throughout the track. On ‘Sea Board Stomp’, Blake’s guitar is purposefully played to sound like a bending horn, while ‘Sweet Papa Low Down’ is a quirky Charleston for plinky-plonk piano, cornet, xylophone and Blake’s jiving guitar. The onomatopoeic tune ‘Diddie Wah Diddie’ is a classic ragtime blues stuffed full with double-entendre. 

The bumper bonus album features more riotous ragtime and hokum from the 1920s and 1930s. Join the party with tracks from Blind Willie McTell, Papa Charlie Jackson, Willie Walker and more.

Where There Is No Light

Live A Lie

Abro os olhos e vejo, que não tem mais sentido.
Viver, correr por ai, sem encontrar um destino.
Já rodei pelo mundo, a procura de um lar.
De toda essa Gente, nenhuma me faz lembrar.

Aqui no sul do mundo, eu encontrei um Lugar.
E agora eu sinto, é por você, vou ficar.
 
Floripa Tão Bela, A Ilha Formosa.
Floripa Tão Bela, Perdida no Mar.
Floripa Tão Bela, Magia Charmosa.
Floripa Tão bela, Poema ao Luar.

Este lugar me fascina, encantou meu olhar.
Todos os lares que vejo, me fazem lembrar.
O quanto eu percorri, pra chegar aqui.
E Agora eu sinto, é por você, Vou Ficar.
________________________________________________________
I open my eyes and see that no longer makes sense.
Live and run around without finding a place.
I've walked around the world, looking for a home.
and all people do not remember.

Here in the south of the world, I found a place.
And now I feel it is for you I will stay.
 
Floripa Beautiful, Wonderful Island.
Beautiful Floripa, Lost at Sea
Floripa Beautiful, Charming Magic.
Beautiful Floripa, Poem Moonlight.

This place fascinates me, and delighted my eyes.
of all the places I saw, some remind me.
How much I walked, to get here.
And now I feel it is for you, I'll Stay.

Alone At Last

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
