Last Goodbye by Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band

I remember that I included this in the mix tape that I gave to someone. The first of the last 2 mix tapes i created and even had the gall to give to the girl. I'm not sure if I already talked about it in this blog, but I honestly believed it was a good set of songs. Kenny Wayne Shepherd was among the first artists that introduced me to the blues. I believe this song should be properly credited to the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band as it's the name that appears on the cover of the album, but it's still the same guy manning the guitars.

(Who who who yeah!)
Long before your rusted chains
Busted walls and barbed wire cage
Tried to hold me down
Time was just a fist of change
Tossed in the water just incase, you ever came around

I could lose myself
I could curse like hell
But I lost the will, to even try
If you ever doubt
Listen to the sound
No lies no no no
This is my last goodbye

Now pardon me if I appear
To see beyond the now and here
To try to save myself
Im not the kind in the plain
But I can't take more of the same
Livin on your shelf

I could lose myself
I could curse like hell
But I lost the will, to even try
If you ever doubt
Listen to the sound
No lies, no no no
This is my last goodbye

Door closes another one opens
I feel the cold wind blowing
Over me
Hey
Long gone but not forgotten
I might be lost, I might be finally free
I am finally free

Long before your rusted chains
Busted walls and barbed wire cage
Tried to hold me down
Time was just a fist of change
Tossed in the water just in case, you ever came around

I could lose myself, I could curse like hell
But I lost the will, to even try
If you ever doubt listen to the sound
No lies, no no no
This is my last goodbye
Yes it is, yes it is

Blue on Black by Kenny Wayne Shepherd

I actually never have been fond of the music genre they called 'blues' back then. My misconception is that blues is boring and sang by old black folks. Oh boy, I realized i was dead wrong when i encountered this song on TV. The music video featured a pretty girl (which actually got my attention). I really love the guitar solo on this one, and the tone is what i would like to emulate.

Night
falls, I'm alone
Skin, yeah, chilled me to the bone
You, turned and you ran,
Oh, slipped right from my hand

Hey
Blue on black, tears on a river
Push on a shove, it don't mean much
Joker on Jack, Match on a fire
Cold on ice, its a dead man's touch.
Whisper on a scream, doesn't change a thing
Don't bring you back
Blue on black

Blind, oh,
now I see
truth, lies, and in between.
Wrong, can't be undone
Oh Slipped,
from the tip of your tongue

Hey
Blue on black, tears on a river
Push on a shove, it don't mean much
Joker on Jack, Match on a fire
Cold on ice, its a dead man's touch.
Whisper on a scream, doesn't change a thing
Don't bring you back
Blue on black


Blue on black, tears on a river
Push on a shove, it don't mean much
Joker on Jack Match on a fire
Cold on ice, its a dead man's touch.
Whisper on a scream, doesn't change a thing
Don't bring you back,
Blue on black
oh yeah
Blue on Black

Blue on black, tears on a river
Push on a shove, it don't mean much
Joker on Jack, Match on a fire
Cold on ice its a dead man's touch.
Whisper on a scream,
doesn't change a thing
Doesn't bring you back
Blue on black
blue on black
blue on black
blue on black
