Influences
Many of the early electric Bluesmen, and a lot of the early solo/acoustic Blues players, especially Robert Johnson, Son House, Lonnie Johnson, etc! Early years influenced by the older country. Have liked the early Rockabilly of Perkins (and that type), and we do some Buddy Holly too! Our Sets will be varied and include music from about 3 genre's. I believe in making a band a fun place to be, and operate as a republic with all having a voice and choice.

Down To The Station
Down To The Station Track number: 3 Year: 2013 Genre: Blues
An old traditional blues number, thanks to the greats who contributed to this real American form of music, with our touch all over it. Check out our drummer J Wayne on this cut, that man can kick it solid! This was the most fun to cut of any of the first rehearsal tracks.

Adjustments
Adjustments Year: 2012 Genre: Southern Rock
This is one I wrote and copywrited a few years back. It was a joke song written for a TV repairman I played guitar with in the late 80's. It's about a guy, late at night, sad that his TV set is on the blink, and he wishes he had known it was goin' bad on him, and how he wishes he could get a repairman to fix it all up. It was written as a parody of a "love-gone-bad" kind of lyrics. It has been received as both funny (by men once the story is told of it's origin) and the saddest song (mostly by ladies). Hope you enjoy it...
