TEARS FROM MY EYES.

DETROIT BLUES BAND

SONGWRITER: UB40

COUNTRY: U.S.A.

ALBUM: CAN’T GET YOU OFF MY MIND

LABEL: BLUES FACTORY RECORDS

GENRE: BLUES

YEAR: 1990

The leader of this Blues band based in Detroit is a soulful vocalist with a great sense of style and nuance. His instrumental prowess on piano and saxophone is notable. The core of the band includes Danny (Guitar), Wayne (Bass), Bubba (drums); uniformly superb throughout. They are joined by sometime band-mates David (saxophone) and Doug (piano, organ), and the late/great Jerry (guitar).

This Blues band is a "musician's band". You can bet there'll be several prominent local musicians in the audience wherever they perform. It's no fluke that musical people love the band. It's all about payin' dues and performing with exacting craft. And it's no wonder that several "A" List musicians are guesting on the album including such icons as Sherm (trombone, flute), Dave (harmonica), Mark (horns), and Jory (guitar).

Baby, baby

How you feel about this being free?

Baby, baby

How you feel about being free?

I don't know 'bout you, honey

But it sure is killin' me

I remember, baby

We were sayin' this can't go on

I remember, babe

Yeah, this can't go on

What was right then, honey

Now feels oh so wrong

That's the stuff

You don't miss your water

'Til your well run dry

You don't miss your water

'Til your well run dry

And I could fill a well, girl

With the tears from my eyes
