Upbeat Blues number featuring a swinging beat, a deep Delta growl, greasy blues harp and stinging guitar; humorous lyrics about not telling ex-girlfriend how bad off he now is; great for comedic romantic films, light-hearted adverts (motorcycles, alcohol, jeans, fashion acc ect) or TV sitcom, Male Vocals, Blues, Chicago Blues
Classic Blues song in the classic style of John Lee Hooker, early Van Morrison and classic 1960s Stones. The track has a hypnotic feel as the lyrics describe the thrills and terrors of cheating on the one you love slipping down backstreets and dark corners of cafes and bars; back door man blues, Male Vocals, Blues, Modern Electric Blues
Down home Blues song with some jazzy chord changes, double bass and brush drums about being unhappy where you are but being afraid to move away; recalls JJ Cale, Ry Cooder and unplugged Eric Clapton. Would work well with anything rural, country life, simply hearty foods, blue jeans, fishing, beer, Male Vocals, Blues, Country Blues
Lowdown electric blues with a driving rhythm and dark guitar work ala John Lee Hooker. Sound is sparce and to the bone. Great for scenes with a menacing atmosphere, a down and dirty dive, a character contemplating doing something bad. Could also work in scenes/adverts with a comic "macho" context. Instrumental, Blues, Electric Blues
A Texas sized helping of some authentic down-home blues riffing featuring some tangy Hammond Organ and tasty Strat guitarwork over a great rolling, swinging groove. Best for smoking bar scenes, cars, podcasts, adverts for men's products or whiskey. Instrumental, Blues, Texas Blues
