Playing Hard To Get (by Ray Brookes and Jean Pierre).

[Ray Brookes]

A standard blue song. Yet again I asked my friend in France, Jean Pierre to play slide guitar for me and yet again he did a great job. Many thanks to him for his efforts.

Been calling your number; been knocking on your door
Starting now to wonder what I'm worrying about you for
You're a tough one baby, the toughest one I ever met
How long you gonna play this game?
Playing hard to get.

Been staring at your window; standing in your street
Takes a long time for me to admit that I'm beat
You're a tough one baby; you gotta be the toughest yet
How long you gonna play this game?
Playing hard to get.

Been throwing you my best smile; laughing at all your jokes
Been laying on the charm but you're so hard to coax
You're a tough one baby but things will change you can bet
Then the game's gonna change
An' I'll be playing hard to get.

Loving the vibe you two are getting together on this .....loving that slide it still has the devil's mystique to me so far with my amateur playing I just make a noise if try to play it ?

[Jean Pierre]

Thanks Ray for this new collaboration, very appreciated, you are an excellent singer and a remarkable multi-instrumentalist, I love your guitar and organ playing

The collaborations by these times of confinement are one of the major assets of SC (There are many others!)
It always seems incredible to me to collaborate with musicians thousands of miles away
thanks again to the administrators Cuthbert and 64Guitars

A very cool and sultry blues style. That guitar work at the start was incredible. The rest wasn't too shabby either, lol. A really enjoyable listen and another fantastic SC collaboration.

It may be a standard blues, but there's nothing standard about the playing, especially the slide. You two combine really well together and this is a great listen, a really smokin' blues. Excellent stuff guys!

Hey Ray, that's a really cool blues number. That intro sounded like Clapton was playing it. great music all the way through. Love the lyrics and vocals. The slide guitar from jean Pierre is beautiful. An excellent collaboration:)
