NORTHSTAR - This is the song I sang at my father’s funeral. I had been listening to the chord structure of a Soloman Burke soul song, came home from visiting my father in the hospital and this song wrote itself.

HEY HEY BABY - Love the horns on this recording and the just walked into a club in New Orleans live loose feel.

I DON’T KNOW – The sax solo and my step daughters Jessie’s singing really filled out this song about the struggle of relationships.

MILK & HONEY – There may or may not be a barmaid in New York who moves just like that.

OLD MAN’S BLUES – If you stop and listen you can learn a lot from an old man. A dirty joke, a story about love, a spiritual understanding of life and death.

CITY IN THE RAIN – This song started with the sound in rain and the splash of tires on the street. It’s the first song I wrote that I thought of as a song someone else might be able to sing.

HAUNTED HOUSE BLUES – Ghost stories are entertainment for some people but if the ghosts are someone you loved it’s a whole different thing.

ON THE NICKEL – Some people can get sidelined by drugs or alcohol and may never recover. The title of this Tom Waits song refers the skid row area around Fifth Street in Los Angeles.

BACKWATER BLUES – Live take of a great Bessie Smith song. Just me on guitar and vocal with Jessie on drums.

FREE BROTHER – My oldest brother died at 59. Too young. Sang this at his funeral.  My stepdaughter Jessie made this recording great with her vocal.  She is all I hear when I listen to this.

MY SONG IS DON’T WORRY – Love the message in this Floyd Dixon song. There is no need to worry overly about money and material things.

DEAD MAN’S SHIRT – In the period between my brother’s death and my father’s funeral this song written by my friend Michael Eck came to me as a kind of cathartic musical outlet.
