April - September 1999

Right As Rain

Straight from the gut, sweet singin', honey drippin', bee stingin', dancin', prancin', all about romancin', pick me up, knock me down, buy it, try it, don't deny it, can't stop movin' with it, groovin' with it, just can't get enough, you've been treatin' me rough, baby please come over, once you're hooked, oh my speakers got cooked, bar-b-que style, play it outside, play it inside, play it loud, wake up the neighbors, throw me in jail with just one CD, this one's for me brother, right from the start, a jolt to the heart, rainin' down hard on me, millions of blues tears, over fields of troubled years, sneaky, creaky, greasy, easy, sexy, slippery when amplified, good to the last track, I don't want my money back, hip-shakin' earthquakin' play it for dinner, every song a winner, fender-bender grooves in a blender, melting pot, don't touch, it's hot, pour it out, slowly drink it down, mmm-mmm good, comin' from the soul kitchen, smothered in gravy, I want the recipe, Tommy's in control, chicken pickin', x-tra value meal, makin' the blind pig squeal, ol' Delbert's in the house, callin' Dr. John, need an operation at the blues station, this CD is the remedy, give the band and the producer-man a mighty big hand, tighten up Buttercup, I believe I've just been stood up, blues no one can refuse, sweet chocolate truffle-shuffle, better listen to yo mammy, here comes a Grammy, stickin' to the roof-top, peanut butter smooth, stax of fat-back trax on wax, you just can't relax, where's my slacks, put the word out on the fax, let me make it perfectly clear, from ear to ear, this is the blues CD of the year, spread the news on every Pentium, Tommy Castro's takin' us to the millenium, Amenium.
