Title: Where Do Ya Wanna Be
Post by: Ray Brookes on December 11, 2020, 01:50:56 PM
Slow blues ..... a bit of a dirge so try not to fall asleep.


Saw ya on that street
You sure as hell didn't see me
Saw ya on that street
You sure as hell didn't see me
Sometimes I'm wondering 
Where exactly you wanna be

Heard you whispering
But you sure as hell didn't hear me
Heard you whispering
But you sure as hell didn't hear me
Sometimes I'm wondering 
Where exactly you wanna be

I've loved you so deeply babe
But you never really loved me
I've loved you so deeply 
But you never really loved me
Sometimes I'm wondering 
Where exactly you wanna be

An' I've known you for such a long time
But you sure as hell haven't known me
An' I've known you for a long time
But you sure as hell haven't known me
Sometimes I'm wondering 
Where exactly you wanna be

Cool Ray, it suits night time listening, so very happy here with my headphones. Love the acoustic bass, you can't beat that sound. Lovely chill out piece and great choice of sounds throughout, that brass section adds to that deep blues feel too.

've had this looping for a while and it's a great slow bluesy groove. The guitar playing is refined and tasteful and for some reason your vocals really stood out on this one for me. They've got a really nice tonal quality and fit so well with this style of blues. Really nice work Ray.

Wow! Your blues playing is beautifully soulful and tasteful. I wish I could play like that. Nothing dirgy here - just cool, late-night blues attitude and atmosphere. Very nicely done. Not sure if that's a real double bass, but it sounds like one, and really adds to the mood & feel.

holy shit Ray, I would like to take a peek behind your wizard of oz curtain....just for a brief moment... you never cease to amaze... there is so much talent on this site... Your stuff is way up there... my gosh....
this reminds me of "Blue Jean Blues" a very old ZZ top favorite of mine...
your vocals are like right on top of you here and the organ is fab...
really tasty stuff....
