O.T Blues

I happen to like blues music. I find the lyrics meaningful and the instrumentals gripping. A good blues guitar always gets my attention. Strangely, I feel better when I listen to the blues. The above link is to Joe Bonamassa playing and singing Sloe Gin. I hope you enjoy it.

For those who don’t like to listen to the blues, the lyrics may still have meaning. 

Sloe gin, sloe gin
Tryin' to wash away the pain inside
Well, I'm sick and I'm all done in
And I'm standin' in the rain
And I feel like I'm gonna cry

I'm so darn* lonely
And I ain't even high
I'm so darn* lonely
And I feel like I wanna die

Mayday, Mayday
I've been shot down over stormy sea
Well, I feel like I'm driftin' away
Can't seem to get a grip on me
Now I can't even try

I'm so darn* lonely
And ain't even high
I hate to go home alone
But what else is new
I'm so darn* lonely

I hate to go home alone
But what else is new
I'm so darn* lonely

You stand there bleedin'
People pass me by
No matter if you live
No matter if you die

Sloe gin, sloe gin
Tryin' to wash away the pain inside
Well, I'm sick and I'm all done in
I'm standin' in the rain
And I feel like I'm gonna die

I'm so darn* lonely
And ain't even high
I'm so darn* lonely

Sloe gin, honey

Baby, come and get the best of me

And if you like a blues guitar, it's hard to beat Joe Bonamassa. Good stuff.

Saw Joe Bonamassa a year ago at Red Rocks Amphitheater.  So incredibly good! Thank you!

Yes, good blues is like having a good cry, and knowing that you’re not the only one.

Great guitar. Made me think about some old hendrix stuff.
