'62 Blues ( Gary Carciello backing trk - FJ vocal and Harmonica)
About the lyric: I was reminiscing how much the blues influenced my early years as a musician and they still do. One of my favorite listens was an album conceived byAl Kooperand featuring the work of guitaristsMike BloomfieldandStephen Stills.
They were an unlikely crew to do a blues album together( in 1968) but their bluesy rendition of Donovan's Season of the Witch pulled me right in. Around that time I also acquired an early 60's live album, featuring Sonny Boy Williamson on blues harp. He was backed by the Yardbirds, with a young blues guitarist named Eric Clapton. As I was thinking about the many hours I spent listening and learning from these two albums, the thought to do a blues lyric/song paying homage to some of the greats that had an impact on me, seemed right to do. Anyway I'm rambling on but that's how the lyric and song came about.

Gary Carciello sent over this bluesy backing track to see if I wanted to do anything with it. This is what I did with it: I decided to tip my hat to the late, great Sonny Boy Williamson and let my Sonny Boy Jackson out to play. So '62 Blues was created.

Insanely entertaining and historically bluesy. Also, one for blues guitar plays of any age since I believe, if I am honest, all blues is timeless, and playing it keeps one young. Though I used to be the oldest dude in any room, this made me feel young.
Thanks for listening and for sharing your feelings about the blues Ed. I agree, blues are timeless, and they do keep us young @ed-drury.

Great references, Farrell. Tells quite a story. Nice riff Gary sent you to build this on. Cool harp work as well. Enjoyed it!
Thanks Frank!

I want to thank all you kind folks that stopped by to listen and comment on 62 Blues. Gary C and I both thank you!
Thanks for stopping by again Gary! Yes this backing track guitar was done by Gary Carciello (Rayon Vert guitarist). This was a demo he sent over. We had planned to do more with it and include DrC (RV Keys) but as things sometimes go, it never materialized. So I used it for '62 Blues.

I came back to this one tonight for another couple listens! Cool stuff. This is the same guitar player that played with you on Rayon Vert too, is it not? Great recording here!
Particularly love all your shoutouts to the artists who helped shape and mod who I am Farrell. Nice tune.
Thanks Toni! We must not forget those that have paved the musical road we've followed to our current destination......besides it brings back good flash backs, lol!
Gary Shukoski: Been hearing this one in the chat shows and it's becoming a MIX anthem! Great tune! Vocally, it's got a bit of a ZZ feel to it and a very memorable rhythm riff.
Thanks Gary! Mixers do seem to like the lyric and grittiness of the song. Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment!
Thanks TV! You are right, even though I write in many genres, blues are a large part of my musical foundation. The lyric were easy to write being they are sprinkled with truths from my life's musical journey. It seems I have found my destination "On the road to '62 Blues" and have surpassed it. Maybe in 7 years I'll have to write another verse and change the title to '72 Blues, lol!

This reeks of the blues of any time. Yeah, timeless is the key here. When somethin is genuine, it goes right there and you know at first bar or at the first bar.. Cheers!

Thanks Rusty! I couldn't resist putting some words and blues harp to Gary's track. I think the lyric tells the journey of a lot of us musicians of a certain age. Thanks man!
Just some songs that I've written over the years and to date. Plus some collaboration songs as well.

Just some songs that I've written over the years and to date. Plus some collaboration songs as well.
I've had fun with this music stuff most of my life and still do. I gigged in a band for 35 years but now I'm just a home studio hack. Made some bucks from gigging but I guess the real payout is the numerous stories and memories from the road.
For a while I ran a small project studio at my place for soloists, duos, and the occasional full band. I gained a lot of recording experience doing that. It was definitely an experience. These days it's just me having fun in the studio. I try this and that with songwriting and recording. Once in a while it works. If I come up with something decent, which I think sounds ok, I'll post it up.
You can find my music on most of the popular sites ie. Amazon, iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music etc. Thanks for visiting and if you have the time, hit the play button to hear a song or two.
