November 22nd, 2009Born Under a Bad Sign Lyrics , Albert King
November 20th, 2009Born Under A Bad Sign
by Booker T. Jones / William Bell
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasnt for bad luck,
I wouldnt have no luck at all
Hard luck and trouble is my only friend
I been on my own ever since I was ten
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasnt for bad luck,
I wouldnt have no luck at all
I cant read, havent learned how to write
My whole life has been one big fight
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasnt for bad luck,
I wouldnt have no luck at all
I aint lyin
If it wasnt for bad luck
I wouldnt have no kind-a luck
If it wasnt for real bad luck,
I wouldnt have no luck at all
Wine and women is all I crave
A big legged woman is
gonna carry me to my grave
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldnt have no luck at all
Yeah, my bad luck boy
Been havin bad luck all of my days, yes

Howlin’ Wolf – Killing Floor lyrics
November 19th, 2009I shoulda quit you, long time ago.
I shoulda quit you, baby, long time ago.
I shoulda quit you, and went on to Mexico.
If I hada followed, my first mind.
If I hada followed, my first mind.
Ida been gone, since my second time.
I shoulda went on, when my friend come from Mexico at me.
I shoulda went on, when my friend come from Mexico at me.
I was foolin with ya baby, I let ya put me on the killin floor.
Lord knows, I shoulda been gone.
Lord knows, I shoulda been gone.
And I wouldnt have been here, down on the killin floor.
Howlin’ Wolf – Killing Floor lyrics
November 19th, 2009“Killing floor” refers specifically to the noted Chicago gruesome slaughterhouse areas where gore reigned (and I dont mean Al) and where septic infections from cuts caused death. Read “The Jungle” by Upton Sinclair. As legendary blues giant Howlin' Wolf intended it, it signifies entrapment in any such hellish environment, i.e. itself, war, misery, evil — it's been expressed in all these ways by the bands that covered Wolf, as this one does, moreso here emphasising the rocking melody. See my 99 iconic photos of Howlin' Wolf at www.howlingwolfphotos.com I was Wolf's great friend and photographer, as well as music student.
Welcome 2 new band members!
November 13th, 2009We now have Chris on bass and Ted on rhythm guitar. Chris also plays sax. Alas none of us can sing so the search is now on for a vocalist unless we can persuade Ian to spend more time with us.
thrill is gone – great jam
