The Talkin’ Headline Blues #83

Okay, well, this week sure did slip right out from under me.

So…no new song and no re-recorded tune from last year.

But! Here’s the Talkin’ Headline for this week. Written on Monday. That’s something, no?

Also, here’s something…a Poor Elvis show on Saturday at Favorite Records. And Powell Brew House will be pouring free beer samples. If you miss out on that you’re  a really big jerk. Here’s the info on facebook.

Rewritten Song: I’m Better Off (version 2)

So, here’s the re-recorded version of “I’m Better Off,” which I wrote and released exactly one year ago today.

The new one is what it is. The old one’s here, if you want to compare.

Be on the alert! There’s a Poor Elvis show this Friday. The details are here. Check it out!

Rewritten Song: Cause, Mama (version 2)

Well, here’s the re-recorded tune that I released this week, last year. Was actually on this date, last year. Go check out the original version and then compare and contrast.

You’ll see I didn’t change any of the words. Just how the song sounds. The cadence, the style, the meter. It’s a waltz now. I particularly enjoyed the mouth harp on this new one.

So this song is a year old. There you have it.

Now, Poor Elvis has a show tonight at the Orbit Room. Why not come check it out. You’ll probably hear my new tune “Mother Mary” (although, a little different than the version I recorded it for Monday).

It’s gonna be a good show. It’s outside on the back deck. Doesn’t get any better than that.

Here’s some more info. Starts at 8pm. See ya there.
