Another co-write with Jim Colyer Blues Baby - Lyrics Jim Colyer, Music Paul Churchfield (Verse 1) She sings "Sweet Home Chicago" Like she really means it And though she's never been there She’s in love with that city Deep in her soul She feels her own pain You know this natural woman Has seen fire and rain (Chorus) Blues Baby Really belts it out Blues Baby Knows what the blues are about Blues Baby Feeling every note Blues Baby Living the songs she wrote (Verse 2) She's got Georgia on her mind Loves to hear those guitars Loves to hear those saxophones In those Bourbon Street bars He left her high and dry That no good man She's raising their kids Doing the best she can (Chorus) (Bridge) She sings it low, sings it loud Etta James would be proud (Guitar) (Chorus) (Verse 3) She sings "Aretha Franklin" Knows about neglect She’s lookin for a man Who’ll give her some respect Deep in her soul She feels her own pain You know this natural woman Has seen fire and rain (Chorus) (Guitar) Blues Baby - Lyrics Jim Colyer, Music Paul Churchfield

Love it, Paul. This may be our best. You've got a real feeling for the blues.

Thanks Jim! It was fun. Most of the music on this one was done with a little help from my Band in a Box friends.
Thanks Travis! Jim Colyer's did the lyrics. He's a great guy to work with. I'm learning a lot, just working with him.

All those guys in the band are sounding great, Paul! The only nit I have, Jim, is that, since you spend half of verse one talking about Chicago, I thought that's what the song was about. I quickly realized it was only a reference, like a few others further along in the song, but then, why spend 4 lines on it? Maybe keep the first 2 and make the next 2 something about another big blues center, like Memphis? Just a thought. Yep, gotta loves them blues. Ricki

Thanks Ricki! I appreciate the feedback. As for the lyric comment, I defer to Jim on this but as I look at it's just about a girl who has the blues and knows how to sing the blues. Not sure how else to analyse it. Thanks for the feedback though. All feedback is good, IMO

Hi guys, I love how you sneak in the song titles, Jim. Pretty cool. Cool vocals, too. Great work, guys. Mike
