It took me like 2 years to get my bearings musically after the break up of TBP. I moved across the country. Waded through shit filled waters of work, some of which i was gladly fired from.
I experimented with many a modded drum machine then. BLX went over seas.
I thought about wanting to make something for my bros and family etc to jam to for a couple of hours a day. Maybe if im lucky, late into the night time hours.
I dont like dance music. The kids like dance music now. i cant dance and im sure im not "cool". I knew i was fucked.
I tuned my guitars down and open. All 5 of them. Got them modded to the specs i wanted. Cleaned the twin up too. Found this wiley drummer around the neighborhood to back the shit up.
Id feel like a poser calling myself a bluesman, but i love those old guys. I spend most of my time listening and hunting out the likes of the under sung blues players from 1980 on back.
The shit just translates to me and my buddies.
I dont know if these songs will work on you or not. We are about to play the fuck out of them everywhere that will have us.
i just want to give a virtual shout out to the old guys that made this shit possible for me to learn from. Guys, i am forever indebted to you. This stuff has helped me through some hard ass times, well for me anyway, and i just want to thank you by trying to give it some modern day justice.
Forever in blood.
