Tightrope


Caught up in a whirlwind, can't catch my breath.
Knee deep in hot water broke out in a cold sweat.
Can't catch a turtle in this rat race.
Feels like I'm loosin' time at a breakneck pace.

Afraid of my own shadow in the face of grace.
Heart full of darkness, spotlight on my face.
There was love all around me, but I was lookin' for revenge.
Thank God it never found me, would have been the end.

Walkin' the tightrope, steppin' on my friends.
Walkin' the tightrope, it was a shame and a sin.
Walkin' the tightrope between wrong and right.
Walkin' the tightrope both day and night.

(Solo)

Lookin' back in front of me, in the mirror's a grin.
Through eyes of love I see. I'm really lookin' at a friend.
We've all had our problems. That's the way life is.
My heart goes out to others who are there to make amends.

We've been walkin' the tightrope, tryin' to make it right.
Walkin' the tightrope, ev'ry day and ev'ry night.
Walkin' the tightrope, bring it all around.
Walkin' the tightrope, from the lost to found.
Walkin' the tightrope, stretched around the world.
Walkin' the tightrope, save the boys and girls.
Walkin' the tightrope, let's make it right
Walkin' the tightrope, do it do it tonight.
Walkin' the tightrope.




Couldn't Stand the Weather

Comin' through this bus'ness of life
Raisin' sand if I'm needed to
Ain't so funny when things ain't feelin' right
Daddy's hand helps to see me through

Sweet as sugar love won't wash away
Rain or shine it's always here to stay
All these years you and I spent together
I guess we just couldn't stand thw weather

Like a train that stops at every station
We all deal with trials and tribulations
Fear hangs the fellow that ties up his years
Entangled in yellow and cries all his years

Changes come before we can grow
Learn to see them before we're too old
Don't just take me for tryin' to be heavy
Understand it's time to get ready for the storm

Well, I'm not an insomniac, but SRV IMO is the greatest guitarist to ever walk the face of the earth...

I can't disagree with you Corpse. I'm surprised that when SRV is mentioned, Double Trouble doesn't come up more often. Shannon and Layton are a great rhythm section. Very underrated IMO. Those three guys were a well oiled machine live.

I don't know if you heard, punk, but Double Trouble and a whole bunch of great guests (Kenny Wayne Sheppard, Susan Tedeschi and a lot more) just came out with the new album. I downloaded from Napster a few days ago, it is great. So check that shit out.

gp - Yeah, I have it. It's a really good album. I don't know if this is one of the tunes you downloaded, but there's a great version of Led Zep's "Rock and Roll", with Susan Tedeschi on lead vocals, and KWS on lead guitar. Have you heard any of the stuff they did as Storyville? If not, check it out.

edit - just re-read your post. It sounds like you downloaded the whole thing. My bad!

no problem, punk. Yeah, that version of "Rock N Roll" is great. I wonder what happened to Reese Wayans? I guess this time is definitely Double Trouble and not Triple Threat.

I think Reese is one of the many guests on the album.

SRV was a great musician. We all know that replacing him is impossible. When you guys get a chance on Napster, or elsewhere, download some Doyle Bramhall II stuff. Check out Arc Angels, and check out Indigenous. Bramhall II, and Mato Nanji of Indigenous are now carrying the torch of the SRV sound...great jams in the SRV flavor

Rommel - I'm listening to Arc Angels right now! Thanks for the heads up on Indigenous. I've heard good things about them. I'll definitely check them out!

I've been listening to Indigenous since 98. Even had a chance to catch them live at Woodstock '99. And they definitely carry that Stevie sound, which I think will never die.

Atomic Punk, anytime man !
I was on their website over the w/e and dowloaded 8 or 9 instrumentals/alternatives/ and other stuff only found on promos.

"Live at The Pachyderm" is also a great listen. His version of Hendrix's Redhouse is brilliant.
