Coming Home To The Blues
An invocation of the blues spirit, the Gods of the harmonica - Sonny Boy Williamson, Paul Butterfield .... memories of Eel Pie Island ....... in blues heaven.... I'm coming home to pay my respects boys.

Lyrics were written with my oldest school friend, Gordon "Jock" Greenway, who introduced me to Clapton's work via early John Mayall.

As far as the therories go, the Blues as a form is a variation on one song ....... the theme is always love .... "Lost and Found", "Found and Lost" .......... "The Blues Live On .......". Howlin' Wolf ....... I know you're out there wailing somewhere. A humble white boy's effort to express thanks to the greats who inspired so many .... did I leave out Muddy Waters ... Little Walter Jacobs ... Freddy King ... Albert King ... Ray Charles ... Champion Jack Dupree ... Mr Hendrix? No matter what, I always keep that flame burning ......... the Blues will never die.

Sonny Boy is dead and gone child
The Blues live on
I'm coming home
Coming home to the Blues

Sonny Boy give me back my soul
I'm coming home
Coming home to you
Coming home to the Blues

We don't want to hear
That stuff no more
Now angel want to play
The Blues live on


The Well At The World's End

An influence of Peter Green and latin rhythms and an excuse for those notes that seem to go on forever.

Keyboards, percussion, bass & programming - Ben Fenner
Guitar & chimes - Steve
