Post by: catfish on October 23, 2013, 09:11:42 PM
must have played these chord changes a hundred times over the years, but, they seemed so natural, now, for Donna's lyrics..... chord pattern is old time blues. must have been around for decades, i learned them in the late 60's..


keeping the tune true to the original idea was our objective... after, some back & forth, we landed a sweet mix.

wish, vocal performance could have been as good as the music & mix......

thank you, Donna, for sending over the lyrics... i took what i read to heart & tried to make for you, your words, a sulky blues tune... i took the liberty to write up your lyric's to include the few places where i went adlib... i kept as close to your lyric's as i could.....

Bob (musicfort), don't be a stranger... what a magnificent Bass Performance...
you got the idea & tapped out some fine notes... & i love the way Doc, decided to get your work, upfront, in final mix....

Henry (DocMidnite), what can i say? i suppose folks can't tell sometimes where we going next... words, surely, can be misleading'...
thank you for great guitar licks, drum track & for the outstanding mix/master.... this is a 1st.. we got a old time blues idea up & workin'... musically & mix.... u so greeeat !!

so here it is: You make tha Devil Blush,  

you've made it to Musicians Collaboration Studio
come on in, drag up a seat, order up a brew-ski & enjoy....

You Make Tha Devil Blush
lyrics by Donna

GIRL, I HEARD YOU TALKIN'
TO THAT OTHER MAN, LAST NIGHT
YEAH, I HEARD YOU TALKIN'
TO THAT OTHER MAN, LAST NIGHT
AND YOU WAS UH LAUGHIN'
WAY DOWN DEEEEEEP IN YOUR THROAT
WELL, IT JUST DIDN'T SEEM RIGHT

DARLIN', YOUR SO MEAN
YOU MAKE THA DEVIL BLUSH
YOU SO MEAN TO ME, HONEY
ANGELS HANG THEIR HEADS AND HUSH
THEY DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU
& I'M SO LONELY TONIGHT
WHAT I'M I SUPPOSED TO DO - WITHOUT YOU

GIRL, I SAW YOU WALKIN'
WITH THAT OTHER MAN LAST NIGHT - OH YEA
SEEN YOU WALKIN,
WITH THAT OTHER MAN LAST NIGHT
THOSE HIPS A'SWAYIN'
UNDERNEEEEATH THAT NEW COAT
AND, IT JUST DID'NT SEEM RIGHT
NO, IT DIDN'T, NOW

BABY, YOU SO MEAN
YOU MAKE THA DEVIL BLUSH - UM MMM
YOU SO MEAN TO ME, BABY
ANGELS HANG THEIR HEADS AND HUSH
THEY DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU, NOMORE

WORK MY FINGERS TO THA BONE
EVEN TOOK OUT A LOAN
BUY YOU CLOTHES AND PERFUME
BUT, YOU HARDLY EVER HOME
LEAVE ME HERE ALONE
TELL ME WHAT I'M GONNA TO DO

BABY, YOU SO MEAN
YOU MAKE THA DEVIL BLUSH
BABY, YOUR SO MEAN
YOU CAN MAKE THA DEVIL BLUSH
YOU SO MEAN TO ME, BABY
ANGELS HANG THEIR HEADS AND HUSH

MMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMM
YOU MAKE THA DEVIL BLUSH

Hey guys, you've gotta a nice "Taj Mahal" blues thing going on here with this song. Nice production and authentic performances really bring to life Donna's super lyrics.

Catfish - I love your 'clearing your throat' at the start...I just can't imagine a Simon Cowell production allowing such a thing......love it.

Enjoyed this, guys.
