Song: Hard Times
Written by – John King (2023) 

Get ready to experience the thrilling conclusion to my furious recording project! Throughout this journey, I've lived and breathed the captivating world of Dr Feelgood. Their music has been my inspiration, igniting my passion and fueling my creativity. I've explored their incredible discography, dissecting their songs, got under the skin of my heroes and their influencers. I've relived the events that defined them and reignited the fire in me that first sparked when I got to know their music in the early 80s. It's been wonderful! If I've achieved just a fraction of their raw energy and infectious rhythms in my recordings then I'll be a happy man. Thank you for accompanying me on this journey of love.

But now, if you read between the lines, something unexpected and exciting just happened that will be taking up my time! For the climax of this project, a spark of inspiration has lead me to create something new. In this grand finale, I proudly present to you a special tune — a re-imagined version of Dr Feelgood's cover of James Cotton's rendition of Little Walters' timeless classic: 'Everything is gonna be alright.'

Prepare yourself for a rockier twist, a wonderful tune reworked with a double-shot of power and intensity. Alongside this musical transformation, I've crafted entirely new lyrics that feel pretty relevant to me today. It's an amalgamation of homage and a little bit of me.

This, my dear friends, is the culmination of it all — the culmination of countless hours of dedication, love, and respect for Dr Feelgood's legacy. It symbolises the true essence of what this project has been about — an homage to the timeless music that inspires us, the unyielding spirit of rock and roll, and the unending pursuit of creative expression. Enjoy!

If you are interested in hearing more songs from this project, please check out my playlist “Inspired by Dr Feelgood” where I present my take of some of the music created by Dr Feelgood. I even lay down some of my own compositions to mix it up a bit. My focus is predominantly on those very early formative years of the band and trying to capture some of the passion and raw energy of the music that they were creating at that time. Have I got the chops to capture the magic of a Dr Feelgood live performance? Have a listen and you be the judge!

If you’re interested in hearing more of the music that originally inspired and influenced Dr Feelgood, listen to the following Artists: The Rolling Stones (the band that first turned Wilko and Lee onto the Blues); Bo Diddley (whose signature rhythm guitar inspired Wilko’s distinctive “choppy” style); Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker (whose music inspired Wilko’s songwriting); Howlin’ Wolf (the artist who inspired Lee with his stage presence and growling vocal style); Chuck Berry (the artist whose “duckwalk” inspired Wilko’s very own “springwalk”); Little Walter, James Cotton and Sonny Boy Williamson I (whose cross-harp playing styles inspired Lee’s spine-tingling delivery); Johnny Kidd & The Pirates (whose fast and furious live 3-piece energy and all-in-one rhythm and lead guitar presence inspired Wilko).

Dr Feelgood were labelled as being leaders in what is often referred to as “Pub Rock”, a phenomenon than revolved around a tight-knit set of bands playing a regular circuit of venues in and around London in the 1970s. It’s a term that’s always felt a bit derogatory to me, but today you’ll hear it used to refer to the style of music that started to emerge from this scene. If you’re interested in hearing more British “Pub Rock” from notable contemporaries of Dr Feelgood, check out some fantastic music from the following artists: Graham Parker & The Rumour; Nicke Lowe; Nine Below Zero; The 101ers; Lew Lewis; Chris Spedding; The Inmates; Steamhammer; Kilburn & The High Roads; Ducks Deluxe; Eddie & The Hot Rods; The Count Bishops; The Kursaal Flyers.

Hard Times

As Woody Guthrie once said, "Way over yonder in the minor key."

10 BOX FULL OF MEMORIES

I watched Glastonbury with old legends like Elton, Cat Stevens, Blondie and The Pretenders etc. who all showed they can still rock the place in their 70s!! Amazing! Hats off to all!!

Here's a track in the "Brit" style and tradition and it gave me an excuse to give my guitars and voice a bit of an airing :)

Deus Objeto II

Written and performed by David Cooper.

A song dedicated to all those young princesses/girls given in marriage to men they had never seen or met before just to cement an alliance/ peace treaties or for religious reasons during the course of history.

She sits by the river, passing the time
Stares at the water as it flows by
Nobody knows what she feels
Oh her life seems so unreal

And she thinks about her family 
The one she left so far behind
Didn’t know what was to come
And she’s so far, far away from home

Chorus

Young girl that never knew 
What it was she had to do
She was just a bargaining tool
And nobody knows
What’s going on in her mind

She was just a young girl
When they came that day
Her mother cried
She had to go away

To a foreign land
To another world
To marry someone
That she didn’t know

Chorus

Bridge

She lies on her back
And looks at the sky
She looks around
As her life passes her by
And she wonders why

Now she sits by the river, passing the time
Stares at the water as it flows by
Just like the tears, falling from her eyes
And nobody cares, nobody realised

A remarkable composer (on SoundCloud) and I were discussing the different aural colors of the notes.  In particular, he called my intention to D and E and their painterly aspects.  I find color/sound to be fascinating, so following his advice...I sat down to explore the different Ds and Es and their relationship to themselves and their playmates and this was the result.  A meta-funhouse ride through a changing dreamscape of colors and gradations.
