Sorry for the link.
Couldn't upload for some reason.

(V1)-My life is in turmoil
I'm at the back of the line
It's Bumper to bumper
I'm always behind
My credit card Crisis
Is all that I own
Feel I'm crawling thru brambles
Swimming like a stone

(V2)My reputation
Left town with my luck
I'm at the station
begging for bucks
Cuz got my problems
and I can see
I need someone to blame
And I know it won't be me.
Chorus
(A)Lord I need someone
Someone to blame(E)
Got to have someone
Someone to blame
(A)Please send me someone
(C)Got to have someone
to blame(E)
(V3) Finished this evening
Charged with assault
But the officer started it
wasn't my fault
It's not my fault
I'm not to blame
Stop picking on me
Stop yanking my chain
Chorus
(V4) Could be the Christians
Could be the Jews
Maybe the Muslims
Maybe it's you
You're all holding me back
You're all in my way
You could be my friend
If you do what I say.
Chorus x 2

I like it, musically it has a hint of the Stones from the 60's, particularly when the drums kicked in at 0.45, however your distinctive and excellent vocal makes it all sound unmistakeably you and has your class and style stamped all over it.

Great harmonies, and loving that harmonica sound providing a counter melody to the vocals.

Nice to hear a new one, been a while!

Thanks Guys.
Tangled, I guess I'm stuck in "my"era and can't figure out why my stuff is dated. Is it my choice of instruments or arrangement or just the fact I don't have any electronica/looping going on?
It would be nice to know.

I don't think I am implying this is "dated", just merely inferring that it reminded me a little of the Stones...maybe is was the harmonica and the style of the rhythm guitar that gave it a vibe and sound comparible to "Little Red Rooster" and "Fade Away" for example.

Electronica/Looping...well i dunno the first thing about that!!

Thanks TW
This is a comment I get fairly often is why I ask.
I'm fine with it other than it would be good to know why that comes across so often.
Perhaps also it's a bit of a "live band" feeling?
Thanks again for the input.
