Mid slow tempo Chicago / Delta style Blues influenced by the music of Muddy Waters with harmonica, acoustic and electric guitars and a down home pocket groove. Lyrics about the Covid-19 virus pandemic and missing loved ones during the lock down, social distancing and isolation.

Isolation Blues

Highstreet recorded this one at Steve Graupe's home studio in Lennoxville in 1976.  I think we were enamored of the flanger at the time. :-)

Lovin You Right Away

I wrote this one in February of 1980. A bit of a tongue in cheek about my bass player who seemed to have a pretty good time with the ladies on the road. I've countrified it somewhat from it's original concept. Hope you like it.
