We have been
wanting to capture our live show for a long time and it's exciting to finally
have recordings that really reflect what we sound like live. These tracks were
recorded at 4 different shows at Bogie's in Westlake Village (thank you, Ken)
and because of everybody's tour schedules, we have 4 different versions of the
Rhythm Tramps - all players that have brought a lot to this band over the
years. I am so incredibly lucky to be able to make music with every
one of these guys and to be able to have all of these players together on this
record is just amazing!
You know there are certain
songs that remind you
Of people we have known
That take you back to
places - you and I both have gone
And there are voices when
you hear them
That make you laugh, make
you cry
Memories that linger come
and go by n by
Through the good times and
bad – they touch us one and all
When the blues come
knockin’ - when the blues come to call
Tied to the Whipping Post’
it was - the first time I heard him sing
That voice that reached me
deep down
Man, he could sing anything
I didn't know yet who I was
hearing
Didn't know the brothers or
the band
Just knew that what they
were bringing
The heart and the soul I
understand
And now I hear that he
joined his brother…
Yeah he gave the world his
all
The day the blues came
knocking
The day the blues came to
call
Yeah, I just knew that what
he was bringing
The heart and soul I
understand
Maybe he heard Duane say –
Brother, today is your day
And that voice that reached
deep down
Went on to higher ground
The day the blues came to
one and all
The day the blues came to
call

BLUES COUSINS

'Enjoy Your Day'' Buy Album ➥https://t.ly/5XNNP by Blues Cousins. About, The Blues Cousins are said
to be the "Best Blues Band in Moscow, Russia." Interesting! Obviously
then, there must be several other blues bands in the city. This could virtually
make Moscow a city with a better blues community than many in America. I for
one am happy to see the REDS turning to the Blues. The band, which has been
together for 15 years, consists of LEVAN LOMIDZE on guitar and lead vocals,
SLAVA IGNATOV on drums and background vocals, and SERGEY PATRUSHIEV on bass.
"ALIVE IN THE U. S. A." was recorded live at the Sunbanks Blues
Festival, in Grand Coulee, WA, during the bands second trip to America. As is
the case with many foreign blues bands, playing and being recorded in the
country where the blues was born was a dream come true for the BLUES COUSINS.
Although "ALIVE IN THE U. S. A." consists mostly of the 'usual' blues
covers, there is nothing 'usual' at all about this band. These three young men
have this interpretation thing under control. Their musical talents are
masterful, and their stage presence and crowd handling are of veteran caliber.
On top of that, I don't know what kind of dues they've paid, but they got the
blues down pat. The CD opens with a nicely done version of "MESSIN' WITH
THE KID". Right off the bat the cousins start kickin' some blues ass and
never let up. The high energy, tight groove that they started off in already
had me impressed. This relentless version of this track would probably have
impressed Junior and Buddy as well. The next track, "NO MORE
DOGGING", had me wondering just how long these guys could keep the frantic
pace on this 75 minute performance. Here it was, only halfway through the
second track, and their high energy level had me getting exhausted. This was
one serious effort by all three players. "TALK TO ME" slowed it down
to a pace where this dynamic rhythm section had a chance to take a short
breather - real short. This one was all about the guitar and LEVAN handled it
as well as any I've heard. This is one of the best tracks on the disc. The next
track, "SWEET HOME SIBERIA"
...excuse me, I mean "SWEET
HOME CHICAGO", was performed - in my opinion - as well as any blues band
has ever performed it. They had the crowd 'hootin', howlin' and singin' along
as if they were a veteran Chicago Blues Band performing to a hometown crowd at
Legends. Midway through this live recording, THE BLUES COUSINS literally had
the crowd in their hands. Now it was time to rock the joint and that's just
what they did with a blistering version of "JOHNNY B. GOODE".
"MY BABY IS COMING HOME", a slow soft ballad, featured LEVAN at his
peak. Once again, this was blues guitar at some of it's finest. He was also
quite impressive with his vocals. Although there is no question that this band
is geared for the louder, faster, harder and higher energy style of blues, I
found myself impressed at their ability to equally play a slower, sensitive
style of play as well There is no question in my mind as to why THE BLUES
COUSINS are the best blues band in Moscow. Hopefully, on their next visit to
the States, Florida will be one of their stops. You can visit the Blues Cousins

Last night I had a dream
My baby alrigth with me
Last night I had a dream
My baby alrigth with me, yeah
All alone since you left me
Ain't no man I used to be
Many days, many nights
I see the same dream, baby
Many days, many nights
I see the same dream
Alone since she left me
Ain't no man I used to be
Why don't you leave me baby?
Why don't you leave my dream alone?
Why don't you leave me baby?
Why don't you leave my dream alone?
Alone, please let me now
Why don't she stay?
Why don't she go

LABEL: TRAMP RECORDS
GENRE: BLUES
YEAR: 2005
Twelve Bar Blues Band is een Netherlands bluesbandbegonnen in 2005. Group formed by: bluesharp:
Jan J. Scherpenzel; Slideguitar: Kees Dusink; Drummer: Marcel Bakker; Bassist:
Patrick Obrist & Rhythm Guitar: Randy Pears.
The 12-bar blues(or blues changes) is one of
the most prominent chord progressionsin popular music. The bluesprogression has
a distinctive form in lyrics, phrase, chordstructure, and duration. In its
basic form, it is predominantly based on the I, IV, and Vchords of a
key. Mastery of the blues and rhythm changesare "critical elements for building a jazzrepertoire".
The blues originated from a combination of
work songs, spirituals, and early southern country music. The music was passed
down through oral tradition. It was first written down by W. C. Handy, an African Americancomposer and band leader. Its popularity led to the creation of
"race records"
and the popularity of blues singers like Bessie Smithand Ma Rainy. The
style of music heard on race records was later called "rhythm and blues" (R
& B). As the music became more popular, more people wanted to perform it.
General patterns that existed in the blues were formalized, one of these being
the 12-bar blues.
I can feel your body
When I'm lying in bed
There's too much confusion
Going around through my head
And it makes me so angry
To know that the flame still burns
Lord, why can't I get over?
Man when will I ever learn?
Old love, leave me alone
Old love, just go on home
I can see your face
But I know that it ain't real
Just an illusion
Caused by how I used to feel
And it's making me so angry
I know that the flame will always burn (flame
will always burn)
I ain't never gonna get over
I know now that I'll never learn (never
learn).
I KNOW THERE’S SOMETHING GOING ON

SONGWRITER: Russell Glyn Ballard
COUNTY: NORWAY
ALBUM: I KNOW THERE’S SOMETHING GOING ON
LABEL: POLAR
GENRE: HARD ROCK
YEAR: 1982
Princess Anni-Frid Reuss, Dowager Countess of
Plauen(Anni-Frid Synni Lyngstad; born 15 November 1945), widely known as Anni-Frid
Lyngstad and also known by her nickname "Frida", is a Norwegian-born
Swedish singer, songwriter and environmentalist, who is best known as one of
the founding members and lead singers of the Swedish pop band ABBA. Born in Bjørkåsen (Ballangen),
Norway, to a Norwegian mother and a German father, she grew up in Torshälla, Sweden,
and started her first solo career there, as a jazz singer in 1967, through a
talent competition called New Faces.
She won the competition with her song, "En ledig dag",
leading to a television appearance on Hylands Hörna on Dagen H; as a
result, she was signed by EMI, and in
turn was signed by Stig Anderson's record
label, Polar Music, after
years of releasing several singles and an album, Fridaunder the
earlier record label. Although she had moderate success in Sweden, as she was a
contestant for Melodifestivalen1969 with her song "Härlig är vår jord", she did not reach
international fame until she joined ABBA, which has sold over 150 million
albums and singles worldwide, making them one of the best-selling music acts in
history.
After the break-up of ABBA, she continued an
international solo singing career with mixed success, releasing the albums Something's
Going On(1982) and Shine(1984); the latter being her last international album. In 1996,
Lyngstad recorded her final album in Swedish, Djupa andetag(Deep
Breaths), released by Anderson
Records, before retiring from music.
"I Know There's Something Going On"
is a song recorded in 1982 by ABBAsinger Anni-Frid Lyngstad(Frida).
It was the lead single from her solo album Something's
Going On. The song was a hit around the world during
1982 and 1983.
Recording began in ABBA's Polar Music Studio,
Stockholm, in
February 1982. Frida recorded the album during the last year of ABBA in the
20th century. At the time of recording this song/album, Frida wanted to
distance herself from "the typical ABBA pop sound". "I Know
There's Something Going On" was written by Russ Ballardand
produced by Genesisdrummer and
singer Phil Collins, who
also played drums on the song. The backing vocals are sung by Lyngstad herself
and Collins.
"I Know There's Something Going On"
was released in the summer of 1982 and became a major success for Frida. It hit
#1 in Flemish Belgium and Switzerland, and was a Top 10 hit throughout most of
Europe, as well as in Australia and South Africa. The song reached #13 on the
Billboard Hot 100 in March 1983, where it had a total chart run of 29 weeks.
Though the song did not reach the top ten, Billboard's Year-End chart ranked it
as the 20th most popular song of 1983. However, in the UK, traditionally a
popular market for ABBA, the song failed to reach the Top 40, peaking at #43
(and spending seven weeks inside the Top 75).
A one-hour TV documentary about the making of
the album and this song is included in Frida - The DVD.
The whole recording process, from day one in the studio to the release party,
was filmed by Swedish TV SVT.
This documentary includes interviews with Lyngstad and Collins, Björn and Benny
from ABBA, as well as all the musicians involved with the album.
I can see that it won't be long You grow cold when you keep holding on You know you've changed and your words, they
lie That's something you can't deny
I call, you're not at home You're home, but you're not alone If you wanna leave then why don't you say it Your love has gone anyway
I know there's something going on I know there's something going on I know it won't be long Won't be long before you're gone There's something going on There's something going on
I know a good thing must come to an end But it's hard to take losing a friend I know what you think and what's in your mind So darling, look, why pretend?
I know there's something going on I know there's something going on I know it won't be long It won't be long before you're gone There's something going on There's something going on There's something going on There's something going on
I know there's something going on I know there's something going on I know it won't be long It won't be long before you're gone There's something going on There's something going on There's something going on There's something going on
I know there's something I know there's something I know there's something I know there's something I know there's something I know there's something I know there's something.
