BLUES MUSIC: STILL STANDING
STILL STANDING ALBUM
Still standing after all these years... it's about hard times and tough knocks and keepin' on going. Dusty's second blues album takes you to the Wrong Side of Midnight with a wailin' Tele.
These blues range from laid-back twelve-bar blues (Flirtin' With The Blues) to a touch of 20s vaudeville-style blues (Too Early Blues), plus a tribute to the late, great Ray Charles in Blues For Brother Ray.
Still standing Album: $12.00 Canadian ($10.00 US)

Twilight Blues (4:30): Take a slow stroll in the twilight with this mellow, laid-back instrumental blues. Sun's going down and the evening is calm. Shows that blues music doesn't have to be sad.
Whiskey And Women (2:47): Whiskey and women / don't you know they're killin' me…. Mournful, minor-key 12-bar blues with a rock beat.
Too Early Blues (2:27): It's much too early for you to go home / it's a beautiful evenin', I hate to spend it alone… Light and cheerful acoustic country blues. Reminiscent of early (20's and 30's) vaudeville, sounds almost like an early radio broadcast. Really - it's MUCH too early for you to go home. Trust
me.
Blues For Brother Ray (5:15): Extended instrumental blues with slow blues/gospel beat and a touch
of Amazing Grace. A tribute to the late, great Ray Charles, written on the day he died.
Flirtin' With The Blues (4:25): When a man lose his woman, no tellin' what he might do… Laid-back classic 12-bar blues with whimsical touches and a danceable beat.
Different Delta, Same Ol' Blues (5:36): Slow, extended delta blues instrumental with clean sound. Sad and reflective but with a rough edge.
Hard-Lovin' Woman (3:32): The gal I'm lovin', she's so good to me / she might not be every man's cup of tea... Hard-driving blues with a rockin' vocal about love.
Homesick Blues (3:19): Laid-back instrumental blues with a complex bass line and just a hint of country flavour. If you've ever been far from home and missing it, this one's for you.
Wah's Happenin' (3:17): Flashy lowdown blues-funk with nasty wah-wah guitar. Lead guitar practically talks. Part of a healthy blues breakfast.
Stormy Blues (4:57): Bad storm's comin' / blues fallin' down like rain... Extended, slow 12-bar blues with indigo vocals and a wailin' guitar to send chills up the spine.
New Columbus Stockade Blues (5:01): Way down in Columbus, Georgia / I want to go back to Tennessee... A new look at an old standard: an extended country/blues version of a traditional bluegrass song, done in a minor key. Establishes a doleful feeling.
Wrong Side Of Midnight (4:24): Lonely streets and sidewalks, with no direction left to choose / Down to just regrets now, nothin' more to lose... Slow extended waltz-time blues with some really tasty lead guitar and a hint of gospel instrumentation. The Tele's wailin' tonight!
