Name: Shouldn't Be Cryin' (on A Saturday Night) feat. Sally-Ann Veasey by Simon Veasey
Duration: 5 min
Description: Here's a new one from me featuring my lovely wife Sally-Ann on backing Vox ... I like it, its nearly pop in fact you can NEARLY dance to it :) ... anyway I had this line "however you dress it up it just aint right" in the back of mind ... it came from there. Thanks for listening as always, let me know what you think :)

I think you have dressed this up to perfection, a fabulous song and performance.

Great sound again and again Simon.....was so close to your area but on such a whirlwind....next summer gonna catch you for sure

enjoying this again. Your voice is so right for this.

What a fine song and performances! Much enjoyed!

Simon I think you really turned the corner. It's like you just get it. Great tune

This is an old favourite of ours that we used to sing out 26-27 years ago ... its still a lovely tune and Sally-Ann sings it just right ... I've not heard many people do this song at all. Took the Weissenborn out of the mix from the original upload because I thought it cluttered it a bit but the original is still up here if you want to compare. Sally-Ann on vocals and guitar, me on second vocals, guitar and bass ... recorded in the front room with two dogs present (sleeping) ... have fun, thanks for dropping by, hope you enjoy it :)

A Gallon at a Time
3-13-2015 John Delk

I was raised up in the whiskey
Like grandpaw and my dad
An the hills of kentucky
Is the only home I've ever had

          An I'd rather go to prison Lord
          Than to the bottom of a mine
          That's why I make my living 
          A gallon at a time

          An it's a gallon for the sheriff
          To keep me out of jail
          An it's a gallon for the doctor
          That keeps my baby well

          An it's a gallon for the groceries
          An the sugar that I need
          An a gallon for the banker
          Owns my 30 acre deed

I get water from the mountain
It makes the purest stuff around
An Grandpaw's old still
Ain't never let me down

       It's a gallon for the farmer
       To keep that corn alive
       An a gallon for the preacher
       Cause the good Lord does provide



A Gallon At A Time

A little bit of narrative on the boy meets girl, girl screws Roadie, girl disappears, boy heads south of the border story!!

Kicking Up Dust

Here's Sally-Ann's first song writing effort ... Its her great grandfathers story about how he moved from Burton on Trent to Nuneaton where he worked as a wheelwright ... problem was there was no work so he started selling Moonshine out of his kitchen to the railway workers, he got busted and ended up having to licence his front room into a pub ... the Railway Tavern ... its still there today, still serving beer 100 years on ... anyway let her know what you think :)

Interlude

Sons En Couleurs - Joy & Sorrow

Struggling with a failing throat and getting to grips with the new Logic upgrades but I had fun recording this .... singing was hard work this is take about 22 ... the others ruined by coughing fits!!!!

This is a quick capture of my granddaughter Kira singing the song that she sang at her dad's funeral last week. We rushed it, the timing is all over the place and we will re-do it properly when we get her back in the studio but so many people have asked about it as she was so brave we just wanted to capture it. RIP Nick

The Prayer - Kira Veasey

Welcome to my Soundcloud a home for demos and a few live recordings on route to recording the album, thanks for stopping by. I'm a singer songwriter (UK Songwriting Competition Semi Finalist 2015/2016/2017) and multi-instrumentalist from Warwickshire in the centre of the UK with a strong leaning towards Americana, folk and modern country. I sing simple songs about simple people living the harsher side of life.

All songs are self-penned unless otherwise stated, love to read your comments, hope to collaborate with some of you guys soon :)
