Howlin' Blues (NOW WITH VIDEO)

[Casia - lyricist]

This is what was completed for the album in a month.  Roger (riggorog) will add some bottleneck when he gets a chance.  I wouldn't mind Holger's take on this  .  I was hoping for a "howl" at the end that never happened  , I guess people are shy

(Intro)
Well, the soul of a man never dies
And Howlin' Wolf
Is playin' in disguise
In this 'ol town
If you look around
Yeah, if you just look around

(V1)
When all these rock stars
Have their day
You know they're into buying
Someone's grave
A famous blue's guy that's what I hear
(Are you listening, it's giving me tears)

(Chorus)
So, drive that blues highway
With a pocketful of cash
Buy yourself a gravestone
You'll be a superstar
That's who you are
From Delta to Chicago
You'll be a howlin' blues star

(V2)
You spend the nights
Playin' in front of crowds
Playing smokestack lightning
You're teasing with a litte this and that
Is that all you got

(Chorus)
So, drive that blues highway
With a pocketful of cash
Buy yourself a gravestone
You'll be a superstar
That's who you are
From Delta to Chicago
You'll be a howlin' blues star

(V3)
When your momma throws you out
For playin' them devil tunes
You can swim muddy waters
Or howl them blues

(Chorus)
Drive that blues highway
With a pocketful of cash
Buy yourself a gravestone
You'll be a superstar
That's who you are
From Delta to Chicago
You'll be a howlin' blues star

Wow...Casia...great tune.

Love the slow slash and burn arrangement - guitars are great, the band is very tight.

vocals are pretty good too sounds a bit like SRV to me.

i like the imagery of the lyrics too...however there were a number of rock musicians who have acknowledged their debt to the original blues masters.

Well done
Andy

No doubt Andy  ... it's hard to be original!!  Appreciate your comments.

Howlin' Blues now has video, just posted.   It also includes the "original" lead sound + a "BritishTubeOverdrive" track.

This video was created by our vocalist from Victoria, BC, Canada.  Uhhmmmm, not sure about the connection of some of the images and a bit too repetitive, but it's a video.  I was hoping to see him in the video but it's just a collage of internet images.
