Description

I came up with this mellow blues number after playing a few simple chords to a slow swing beat, it seemed to work ok so I added a few more instruments.

Lyrics

You got that sunshine
And I have the rain
You got that good life
No heartache and pain
I was a fool for loving you

You take my money
Almost every day
I work so hard for you
To pay your way
I was a fool for loving you

	Fool For Loving You What great lyrics! A woman like that can kill a man! Avoid her at all costs. Great tune and killer parts. Check out my latest song called Just Ain't Worth a Song (2 Track)

	Very cool I love the tone of the guitar. Languid vocal. Relaxed feel. Clean mix. The guitar solo is very tasteful. The bass sits there nicely. I like it a lot! Check out my latest song called Close to Midnight w/ alackbass, rok41, paul f. page, & KyasheMusic

	Very nice.. ... and complete and laid back for something that clearly started out as an experiment. You handle all the instruments beautifully - and the singing reminds me of someone, but it'll come back to me who. Check out my latest song called The Queen of 94

	Thanks Vic I think the last time I got the wah pedal out was when we did our collab a few years back. I had to dust it off again for this one and I'll try not to back out on vocals :-) Thanks for the listen and comments. Bob Check out my latest song called We Can't Let It Go

	Fool Love the laid back groove. Bass and wah-wah are perfectly understated and behind the beat. Whole endeavor a little Doors-like while still original. Love the concise playing. Wow, great jazzy changes under the guitar solo. All in all, a very tasty track. Check out my latest song called Wandering Blues

	mellow nice minor key blues... I like the open, clear sound of the production - probably a lot of that due to how well arranged it is. every element has its own place, it's cool how you did that. kind of a deceptively simple sound. impressive! Check out my latest song called Someone Else's Thing

Bob Rodgers	Bob Rodgers said 370 days ago (May 18th, 2012)

Great little blues tune.
I am grateful for the clarity of the lyrics (which I could understand without the cheat sheet). You sing through them with ease and gentle care. Nice. I found the bass to be a bit too strong for the rest of the arrangement. Might want to dial that back a tad. Nice little guitar bridge. A pleasure to hear this gentle song.
