Hey guys and girls! Ithought since we have so many different types of "A song a day" type of threads on GMC and being inspired by the "Instrumental song a Day thread" I decided to start one of my own didicated to the style of music I enjoy most, Blues and Jazz. I feel that this will be cool for two reasons.
A. I get to check out youtube and other sourses in order to find cool stuff to put on here! Also, feel free to post your favorites as well! B. I've noticed that sometimes there seems to be an quite a few people here who are into metal and Rock type genre's of music (I like them as well!) and I seldom see this type of stuff so I felt that this would be a good way of bringing a richer perspective to an already awesome forum. First up, Blues by someone who needs no introduction: S.R.V. This song, "Tightrope" is one of his less played songs, but one of my personal favorites. He wrote this song and it was the third track on his 1989 album "In Step", the last album he would record with Double Trouble. This was just after he had come through rehab and got drug free, and it shows in both the lyrics which he wrote and how well he played compared to the drug filled years. Sadly, this was done approximately a year before his death in 1991. When possible I 'll try to provide a little information like this for all the songs I post here. -------------------- My Sound Cloud Profile: http://soundcloud.com/casinostrat
