Another bigband/funky tune to follow up on Getting Tight With Loose Women. These two titles together with some others will probably end up on an online album with 12 tracks bit bluesy/jazzy/funky. Working on it…

Nice funky and bluesy tune that could fit any blues artist - or even R&B and country performer. As a matter of fact the song started off as a sort of Hank Williams country blues tune but then developed into this BB King influenced recording. Can also be ZZ Top rock…

Just picture the city without it’s camera’s, it’s walls and gates and I might even think of moving there… The Worldcup Football Games 2010 may well be a turning point for Jozi, the Lady city.

An interesting contemporary country song I think. Started as an outlaw-with-a-heart kindda song when a new baby was born into Jules’ family - with exactly those 8 pounds and 11 ounces as her weight. Had some difficulties adding the impression of a brushed drumset to the recording but will do. Hear the song crossing over to pop in the middle…
