Any day now
I will hear you say "Goodbye, my love"
And you'll be on your way
Then my wild beautiful bird, you will have flown, oh
Any day now
I'll be all alone, whoa
 
Any day now
When your restless eyes meet someone new
Oh, to my sad surprise
Then the blue shadows will fall all over town, oh
Any day now (any day now)
Love will let me down (any day now), whoa
 
I know I shouldn't want to keep you
If you don't want to stay-ay
Until you gone forever
I'll keep holding on for dear life
Holding you this way
Begging you to stay
 
Any day now
When the clock strikes, "Go"
You'll call it off
And then my tears will flow
Then my wild beautiful bird, you will have flown, oh
Any day now (any day now)
Love will let me down (any day now)
'Cause you won't be around
 
Ohh, then the blue shadows will fall all over town, oh
Any day now (any day now)
Love will let me down (any day now)
'Cause you won't be around
 
Any day now
You won't be around, ooh
(Any day now)
No, no, no, no, no, no
You won't be around
(Any day now).

            TERESA JAMES & THE RHYTHM TRAMPS
          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

           '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 on the Web at: www.blues-cousins.ru/ Lyrics: The Dream
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

TWELVE BAR BLUES BAND
SONGWRITERS: ERIC CLAPTON & ROBERT CRAY
COUNTRY: NEEDERLANDS
ALBUM: TWELVE BAR BLUES BAND
LABEL: TRAMP RECORDS
GENRE: BLUES
YEAR: 2005

 
        Twelve Bar Blues Band is een Netherlands bluesband begonnen 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 progressions in popular music. The blues progression has a distinctive form in lyrics, phrase, chord structure, and duration. In its basic form, it is predominantly based on the I, IV, and V chords of a key. Mastery of the blues and rhythm changes are "critical elements for building a jazz repertoire".
          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 American composer and band leader. Its popularity led to the creation of "race records" and the popularity of blues singers like Bessie Smith and 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).
