Bobby Messano has been writing and playing Blues music for over forty years. He is a multi-award-winning Contemporary Blues artist who garnered a Billboard Blues Chart #1 in 2015.  Even though he is considered a Blues-Rock artist, he has always paid reverence to the Masters that came before him; Robert Johnson, Willie Dixon, Freddie, BB and Albert King, Big Bill Broonzy and Otis Rush. Acoustic Transitions Volume 1 is Bobby’s nod to the traditional Blues songs that he loves, and should never be forgotten, mixed with new versions of his own traditional Blues writings.

Traveling Blues at Audioversity, Aug. 21, 2024 (ep615)

Music: Flash Cut Ltd., Maxim Portinatx
 Lyrics: John Lee Hooker

Canal Street

This tune never got released. It was buried in the archives, one of several songs written on the theme of one of my favorite pastimes like the title and lyrics say. It's Electric Blues and has a John Lee flavor. My friend Howard Williams ( caught in the act ) is pictured bearing down on his signature harp magic. It's an up tempo dance tune that you could dance to if you feel like dancing. Chances are you never heard it unless you were there to hear it live.
Lyrics:
Watchin’ Women 
1.	When It comes to watching women, I jus’ can’t help myself
	Cause there’s all these lovely figures, Set out here on my shelf
`	When it comes to watchin’ the parade, That passes ‘fore eyes
	When it comes to tryin’ not to, I don’t try.
2.	When it comes to takin’ notice, Of all these beauty queens
	All colors, shapes, and sizes, And them that lies between
When it comes to window shoppin’, And admiring what I see
I’m just lookin’, I’m not buying, That’s jus’ me.
Chorus a:	But I got a woman at my house, Beats everyone I see
And she cook me big fine dinners, That tastes jus’ right to me
She don’t scol’ me for lookin’, She don’t pay it any mind
‘Cause she know who will be sittin’ with me, At the table where I dine.
3.	When it comes to lookin’ over, What’s on the desert tray
	All of those tasty dishes, On the menu for today
When it comes to placing orders, I look but I don’t eat
Cause my baby’s good home cookin’, Can’t be beat.
Chorus b:	Cause I got a woman at my house, And I know she’s the best
		I’m stickin’ with this good thing, I’m not messin’ with the rest
She don’t scol’ me for lookin’, She don’t pay me any mind
Cause she know who will be sittin’ with me, At the table where I dine.

Before I Go

Ce n'était pas la première fois que je me rendais à Kingston Ontario, j'y étais allé l'été précédent pour des vacances, et quelqu'un m'avait offert un objet que j'ai ramené avec moi de l'autre côté de l'océan. 
Pas un objet précieux, just a gift and a smile.
Alors, je me suis dit que je reviendrai pour rendre la pareille. 
Malheureusement de partout  la guerre à ressurgi une fois de plus, une fois de trop, et je n'ai pu faire autrement que la prendre dans mes bagages, pour restituer un peu de ce qu'elle m'inspire sur scène, lors de ce concert unique.

About Bobby Messano:
Bobby Messano is a legendary guitarist and contemporary blues artist who has released seven solo CDs, placed songs in many TV and cable shows and played on over 50 major label and indie albums. His music has been heard on everything from MTV jingles to Benny Mardones' smash hit, "Into The Night". The celebrated guitarist has played on records by Clarence Clemmons, Franke & The Knockouts, Joe Lynn Turner, and STARZ. His CD's are heard daily on "Sirius/XM's B.B. King's Bluesville." His 2015 album, Love & Money, was nominated for a prestigious Blues Blast Award for "Best Rock-Blues Album" in August 2015. It debuted on the Billboard Blues Chart at #7, peaked at #1, and spent a total of nine weeks in the Top 10. It was also #7 on the Billboard Heat Seekers Chart and Top 40 on both the Billboard Rock and Indie Charts. Love & Money also ended 2015 at #44 on the Roots Music Report Chart.

     Bobby's follow up album, BAD MOVIE was released on April 15, 2017 and debuted at #1 on Sirius/XM BB King's Bluesville and has been in the Top 20 on SIX Roots Music Reports charts since it's release. It is a collection of 15 incredible songs written with major co-writers Jon Tiven, Larry Weiss, and Steve Kalinich, and features the amazing "Come To Your Senses" written by Queen founder Brian May and Jon Tiven, and the haunting duet "Water Under The Bridge" with Bobby and Alecia Elliott (2001 AMA Nominee). BAD MOVIE was a unique perspective of personal traumas and a country in a state of flux and the reviews have been outstanding.

     For Lemonade, Messano's ninth studio album, Bobby joined forces with Bob Malone (John Fogerty), Doug Belote (Eric Clapton), and Carl Dufrene, JR (North Mississippi Allstars). The album was inspired by trying to balance personal relations in a complicated, ever-changing industry. Lemonade will be released on July 12th, 2019 via Fishhead Records.

THE SONGS I NEVER SANG (THE COVID SESSIONS) releases on January 29th on all digital platforms. The Project is a labor of love for Bobby. It is a collection of 11 songs that he has loved in his life but never recorded.
