Nightmare Voodoo lady visits sleeping neurotic pensioner with indecent offers...well it was a dream,so sue me.

Man it was dark,like the chocolate,you had to be there. 


I woke from sleep in a cold hard sweat
She was standing by my bed
You know where I am if you need me,she said
Her touch was as cold as the dead

A scream arose in my throat
Yet was stifled and undeclared
Do I dream or wake as I sit on the bed?
Am I ready or unprepared?

The telephone rang,time to arise
Appointments need to be kept
Eight hours in bed and my body still said
It feels like I haven't slept

She said,all you see
Is not what you see
You must leave it all behind
The cloak and the veil of everyday life
Is only in your mind

When I cut you down from the dance of life
You felt chilled right through
I knew from that moment on
You had killed me too

She said,all you see
Is not what you see
You must leave it all behind
The cloak and the veil of everyday life
Is only in your mind

I could see myself as Elvira dancing with the Count to that! Very fun. Good party song.

You didn't mess about Davy - Excellent guitars and your vocals  and harmonies get better and better man. The lyrics gave me a right chuckle as well.

I think the breakdown worked very well, just at the right time

And that guitar solo 

Excellent as ever

 Greetings Mr. Skub

 Top class song old chap    Some nice twiddly guitar playing, bit of
 'Jeremiah was a bullfrog' came to mind at the start....which was nice

 Really liked the brake, great change of pace and contrast, to the rest of it.
 works really well. 

 I get the feeling you might have played the Blues before.....a few times
 Enjoyed listening to this mate.....

[Wolfini]

What a blood-cool blooz!

I like the punchy snare, and of course that cool-as-ice-cold-bodies guitar solo. (the solo could be turned even louder in the mix for my taste)

Makes me feel like banging my head against the coffin cover.

Bye Wolfi

[Martinswede]

Maybe not the spookiest but still good!

I like the air and presence in your voice.

It could maybe have been made a bit more dizzy and hypnotic.

Blimey!!this is good....stunned silence follows...

[Morefrog Jones]

So professional and fully formed - smokey and smouldering - leaving me with the taste of Jack Daniels and a cheap woman on my lips.
Cant say I actually enjoyed it - but that would be my anti country music bias coming out rather than the quality of the song.  a good early contender and with so many wannabe cowboys of this forum - its got to be in with a chance

[diademgrove]

Hi Skub,

great song, reminds me of Credence Clearwater Revival, definitely a good thing.

Although you sound very happy for a dark song. There again who wouldn't?

Good luck in the competition,

Keith

Excellent playing and production. Lyrics are deliciously dark. The music/production could be a bit darker to suit the lyrics. It's very ZZ Top which is awesome but I would have preferred a bit more Cramps style to give it more of an edge.

[Viscount Cramer & His Orchestra]

Nice guitars Davy. That riddim (never can spell that word!)  guitar sound is great. Loved the intro 2nd time around....first time it lost me a bit...or I got lost myself rather.

Like those subtle Creamy bvs again! Really like those bvs!

That 'she said' bit is good - more like big O here - and the following break excellent.

Bit early for Halloween isn't it? Will you be releasing your Xmas single soon?

[tina m]

And was this lady wearing a nurses uniform and was the cold hard touch the bedpan?  

I never thought I'd review a song of yours where the vocal was as good as the  guitar playing. Such a great vocal Davy!  I love the harmony bits that sound like Cream?
Here you are playing some fine rhythm and blues with the cleanest sound Ive ever heard!  I realy like it, It sounds like Dr. Feelgood after a much needed bath!
And now you're ripping it up with some fab fast soloing, which will probably leave your old fingers complaining for weeks, I shouldn't be surprised.  
A super listen, I find most Rhythm and blues boring, but not this.

Cheers Paul.

[Skub]

shadowfax

Ta Kev. 

Morefrog Jones

Er..country? Have I failed so utterly recording a blues track,it's mistaken for country? 

diademgrove

I love me some Fogerty,Keith. 

mickyplankton

Ta Micky,I'm more Billy's generation than the Cramps,which may account for that!

Viscount Cramer

Ya snooze,ya lose Count. Ta for the listen.
