Fantastic funky vibe, brilliant track! :0)

** From new album RISING TIDE BLUES due for release by end of Feb 2016 **

I was playing with a band that wanted to do some old funk tunes but I wasn't in love with the songs they chose so I wrote a funk song myself. 

It wasn't a genre that I was familiar with but I had a lot of fun with it. 

The basic structure is pretty simple but getting on the beat has taken a whole year of practice. You don't think about funk - you feel it. It's a gas when you get into it.

Put A Rhythm On It

You lay down a line and it’s feeling fine
But if it don’t got swing ... don’t mean a thing

Gotta put a rhythm on it
The groove gotta feel just right 
But it’s the rhythm that makes it, outta sight!

When it’s late at night, and the feeling’s right 
Well, if you wanna move ... gotta get in the groove

You gotta a put a rhythm on it
The groove gotta feel just right
But it’s the rhythm that makes it ... feel so tight

At the break of day, got nothing left to say
When the words are gone … oh man, well the groove goes on

You gotta a put a rhythm on it
The groove gotta feel just right 
It’s the rhythm that makes it ... outta sight


Put A Rhythm On It

Blues with a touch of Soul, or maybe the other way around. Both my albums are on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Play etc. Take a listen.
