This is my slide guitar instrumental version of a great song "Killing The Blues", which was written by Rowland Salley, bassist with the Chris Isaac band, Silvertone. This is one of those numbers (amongst quite a few!) that makes me wish I'd been born with a good singing voice!
"Killing The Blues"
Written by Rowland Salley
Leaves were falling, just like embers,
In colors red and gold, they set us on fire
Burning just like a moonbeam in our eyes.
Somebody said they saw me, swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud, killing the blues.
Now I am guilty of something...
I hope you never do
Because there is nothing
Sadder than losing yourself in love.
Somebody said they saw me, swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud, killing the blues.
Now you asked me... just to leave you
To go out on my own
And get what I need to
You want me to find what I've already had.
Somebody said they saw me, swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud, killing the blues.
