The blues is the musical cornerstone in this collection of lyrics to fourteen songs. Replete with rhythms and rhymes, they make use of clever wordplays that are witty reflections about life. They also have a wicked twist to the challenges and losses described, while maintaining an appropriate note of despondency. You will find a poet who mourns his deceased wife through metaphors of water; a hobo who, through the lens of black humor, ponders his situation with no exit; and a loser born to suffer every imaginable disaster in the spiral of hell. There are revolutionaries for a lost cause, a secret silver box, and men who have lost their loves. Death makes a statement, and bridges of no return are burning. A stray cat claims to be the spirit in the booze, and a specter arrives at the House of Blues. A fascinating collection of keen, poetic observations – quite unlike any other.
