WOW!!  What a great feel and such a talented interpretation.

Ray's lyric is exceptional, atypically poetic for the genre, and the vocal, in its phrasing and tone and delivery, is soulful and convincing, the lead is expressive and understated, both 'voices' buoyed by the seamless mix of the rhythm guitars and Hammond. A terrific collab.

A classic and wonderfully atmospheric piece.

It’s just an experiment how to get things done by mixing and recording. A timestamp. 🤘🏻👹

The Blues Is Nothing
© 2021 S. Collingwood, R. Cochrane & J. Merritt
Wake up from dreaming, 
Where nightmares are nothing new, 
Break up from loving,
When loving has nothing for you.
But recall the pain and go there again
The blues is nothing but history ignored.

You won’t learn from this 
You won’t heed my call
You won’t believe me
No, not at all
Until you’ve been here 
And walked in my shoes
My shoes, my blues
Until you’ve made the mistakes 
That everyone makes
The blues is nothing but history ignored.

The blues is nothing,
But a history in song, of every wrong
The blues is nothing but history ignored.

The Blues Is Nothing
