Trouble [Live at The Troubadour] July 2016

Trouble - A blues factor that takes a hold of everything. Nobody cares. Feel the slow burn as trouble seems to follow you around every corner. Deep expression of soul as only a song can portray it. It cries for release.

Fire - Don't leave me because you're the one I was searching for. A rhythmic blues tune with a rockabilly blues refrain.

18 Days - The music plays like it's sneaking up on you or slowly like out for a very leisurely walk. It took 18 days thinking of you out in the city just waiting for the time to come to be able to see you again.

Holding On - Single guitar riffs play in between throughout the bluesy song. Bending out of shape because of breaking a rule you never meant to break. Holding on to what's left of it.

Working Blues - Deep bass. Heavy drums. Grueling guitar. The working life is a hard life for those on the road. Don't treat me so cold. Good time to play the blues. Slide guitar.

Never See You Again - A traveling guitar tune. Add organ. Static dub guitar riffs. A fever is high. Left reeling since the words "good bye". Feels like you're drifting a thousand miles away. Now the memories aren't worth it.

Hold On Me - Delta to Chicago blues. Rough, ready and moving. Baby's got a hold on him and he never saw it coming. Losing sleep? Energy builds.

Good Man - Slow and rhythmic. Is he a good man? Is he a full moon? With all you've been through, you still keep your head above water. Get the church choir to back you up on this one.

My Love - More on the rock and roll style. So many thoughts racing through your head. Hard to keep your mind on important things. One thing's for sure, the love is always on his mind and because she went away, it's not the same.

Don't Look Back - A guitar warning. STOP! Heavy duty blues and rock. Gritty guitar riff. You should have learned all this before. Don't look back!

U M1 16 - Slow and steady. Guitar and organ. Drum beating time. Can't resist you but have nothing left to give you. Can't shake the feeling.

My Sweetheart You - The song has a 1950's - 60's old time blues feel. Slow paced. No matter what the circumstances, no matter what the weather, no matter how I feel, I still have my sweetheart you.

Blues rock adding a taste of Delta into his rhythm. Smooth voice with an edge. To find out more about Hamish go to:
