The Isolation, Irritation Blues

[Farrell Jackson]

Here's a new collab. with Ron Bowes called The Isolation, Irritation Blues. I wrote these lyric near the beginning of the covid-19 lock down in Calif. I just didn't get around to doing anything with them until now. Ron sent his music over and I put the vocal and harmonica to it. You might hear a little Robert Plant influence in my vocal.  I mixed it and LANDR mastered it.

The Isolation, Irritation Blues
(Harmonica Intro)
(V1) Becoming irritated, with all this isolation
Waiting patiently, for a real explanation
Maybe it will clear with some precipitation
(Chr) I've got the isolation, irritation blues
I need to change my view and attitude 
(V2) Whoever thought this would be the situation?
Na Na Na Na it's crazy.
(Chr) Turn off the TV, stop watching the news
I've got the isolation, irritation blues
(Ron gtr solo)
(Chr) I've got the isolation, irritation blues
I need to change my view and attitude 
(V3) A new pack of TP is cause for celebration
Only take one to avoid crowd humiliation
There's no need to face the retaliation
(Chr) Turn off the TV, stop watching the news
I've got the isolation, irritation blues
(V4) What will happen to future generations?
Is this the new normal, a new realization?
Will the cure come down to herd immunization?
(Adlib outro)

Powerful rocking stuff - and yeah - I got the Robert Plant vibe.

Cracking bit of bluesy rock n roll.

Wow that's a powerful piece of blues ultra clear recording.
Top stuff, a great listen, well done!!!

[Redler]

This put my toe tapping on the floor! Excellent work on each way. Harmonica gives a good flavor to this.

Great song, lyrics, instrumentation and vocals!  Great breaks and such a clean live sound. Feel I'm back in the club again!

OMG crikey this is good - that's one hellova backer from Ron matched by your lyrics/vox.

Do you ever watch the sessions on Youtube from Darryl Hall's house - I always think that's what a jam session around your house would be like - awesome!

Thanks Hilary! I do watch Darryl Hall's House sessions. It's one of my favorite shows to catch. I'm always envious of all his guest artists, musicians and his home studio. I do have jams at my place but they are not near as pro as Darryl's.

Thanks again!

Just loving the vocal on this one Farrell, it's absolutely superb. A really powerful but very well controlled performance. Love the lyrics as well. All over a really catchy backer with a great sound and feel to it. Good mixing job, everything is very nicely balanced.

A great track, another fab collaboration from you.
