One of our new originals, with a groove squeezed directly from the Chess Records vaults, Chicago style inner city Blues talking about the little ant working day after day, step by step to make its fortune. Just as we do, song by song, note by note.

"Ant Working Blues" 

I´ve got the Ant workin blues 
I make my fortune step by step 
Cause When You want it all too fast 
Everything will go as fast as it came 

I pick the jobs 
That nobody wants 
If the pay me a hundred dollars 
Or if the pay me four 

Cause I´ve got the Ant workin blues 
Make my fortune step by step 
Cause if you win it all to fast 
Every thing go as fast as it came 

I Play my Guitar 
Everywhere I can 
If they give me a hundred dollars 
Or if they give me ten 

Cause I´ve got the Ant workin blues 
Make my fortune step by step 
Cause when you want it all to fast 
Every thing go as fast as it came.

Ant Working Blues (Sara Gee & Ramblin Matt)

RAMBLIN' MATT was born in 1966 in Valencia, Spain and he has been involved in bands and performing since the early eighties. Right now is one half of the upcoming band based in Dénia (Alicante) Sara Gee & Ramblin Matt, with three albums since 2013 along her partner in life Sara Gee. Matt is a composer, arranger, guitar and slide player and singer and his first bands were rockabilly outfits in a time when only few dared to play these type of music in Spain, with bands like The Dalton Brothers and Ruzafa's Incorregibles. He formed Blackmailers with soul brother and gifted guitar player Silver Borras in 1998 after returning of living in the US for five years (Chicago, LA, Austin). Between 2006 and 2013 he has been a performing musician in London with his Vintage Rockabilly trio Los Jailbreakers, as a solitary act or with The Ramblin Matt Trio. He returned to Spain in mid 2013 when he meet Sara in a gig in Valencia and decided to stay for good after a tenure of over nearly 20 years away from his land of origin.

Matt writes his own material and also plays bold and faithful to the original arrangements of country & delta blues classics from the likes of Robert Johnson, Big Bill Broonzy, Skip James, Son House, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Rev. Gary Davis, and Mississippi Fred McDowell among others featuring most of the times only lead vocals and guitar, played with or without slide.
