Fathers Day Blues



Yeah, it is Father's Day and I'm not yet a 1st born son, but....I do like this blues just especially for today. I like Sugar Sweet on it best, piano is so pretty, this album has that and more. It's a test of time standing up album. Now CD, or whatever, tunes that fly in ether down load universes.

I had "Fathers And Sons" by Master Waters on a way olllllllld copied cassette but it kind of died a slow dissolving death (cause this was from about my life in 1970.) Sad, and I went tonight and found it again. Yeah.Mine was atually a mess compared to the sound here. My original cassette was a gift from a friend who was an older kid ....Way cool kid then. Garage player, guitarist. (Liked my 'art')

Muddy Waters sings you through father's day....this album has lots of energy.
It really is the classic to get, or recall, or rehear. It really is the one I miss hearing.
You Feel So Good, it lifts the soul. Even a soul left, standing, alone, staring, looking at ...another's Dad Day that is sop fast here already. Another day to spend with the truths or hosting the bar.
For some of us it's a very complex day. So...the Blues.

It's ...maybe my favorite Waters and I just down-loaded it from my iStore.
I like how they call it "my" iStore. Sure. Yeah...it's mine. I'm maybe born to jive. But am I stupid? Yeah I guess that too. So now I own an iStore. Hey, why are all these other folk in my store all the time?

So, yeah, this is official, it is my favorite Muddy Waters. Why not, gotta pick one. Do you know it? You'll hear a thread of it in a lot of music you might listen to-try 'I Live the Life I Love....sounds like..... You'll know it. Cold on a page looks a little harsh, sung you end up headshakin. It was all Muddy in music I loved a few father's day back. But you Dad's will remember. .

Opens with The Daddy's Lament...'working hard all my life, now I'm getting pushed around" yeah the daddy song...oh, All Aboard's the name.... actually which is sweet. Really.
So let's haul in the blues and grab a way to say it hurts a little bad today..You Can't Lose What You Ain't Never Had, no you can't. No little girl can't loose something she ain't never had. What a great tune. Perfect on Daddy's day..you need to listen to the playing on this one. Pick yours.

"Don't Say I don't love you just cause I stayed out all night long....you know I'm a country boy." ..there is this clanging part beating in this I love. I actually sing this one. Full of exactly what I feel. Exactly. I'm ready, ready as anybody can be....Happy Father'sDay, country DSad. Let it all go, you can't fix what you done broke anyway.

Just the same this album has it all.
40 Days, 40 Nights,
Honey Bee....a bit o buzz. It's gorgeous blues.


I'll spare you my enjoying each tune. Sorry. You can click into my iStore which will be renamed "your" iStore and just listen.
If you want a great Dad's gift...then...the blues... listen.
Just to celebrate I downloaded this, listened, toasted my daughter, hugged my son, saluted the moon, wept at a star, forgave a few j-birds and let myself feel the love of a Dad who kinda ruined my childhood. And babe, that ain't so easy with all the buzzing in this head.
Dad's, Sons, Waters you define it.... ..Long Distance Calling out to you...
Happy Daddy's Sweet Sugar Day.
