Title: Religion
Post by: toadman on September 11, 2011, 10:28:03 PM

This is yet another blues.
My thanks to all those who contributed along the way.
I just want to repeat the disclaimer that this song isn't about religion, it's about meeting a man in the street. So no offence intended.

Guitar George - vocals, guitars
Way2lon (TTM) - drum machine
toadman - guitars, bass

Religion - Music & lyrics - toadman (c)2011

V1: I was walking down the street when a man accosted me
     "Do you believe in the Lord?" "Only when I'm really bored"
      Mama always said "Religion, get it before it gets you"

V2: He just stood and stared at me, couldn't believe what he could see
      Then he asked me about my drains, "40 days & nights of rain
      Are coming down upon you, mister" was all he said to me

V3: Well I just poked him in the eye, I said religions were just a lie
      Faith comes from within, sleeping in Sunday ain't a sin
      He just turned around and said "Lord, strike this boy dead".

A fine song - with shades of Elvis, Gillan ("No Laughing In Heaven") and others.

Toad wasn't specific about the guitar playing: all the backing and the fantastic slide work is by Toad, and just the two solos at 1'30 and 2'15 are by me.

I posted a link to it on my Fabeook page, I expect that's where Tricia saw it.

Pretty cool! 8) 8) 8)
Wish I could write songs in that style.

George: Great vocals and 2 really cool solos, very edgy sound and tastefull licks!!!

Thanks - I have been listening to the Hellecasters a lot recently, hence the style of the solos. The tone sound was improved from my original guitar sound by Toad EQ'ing it in the mix :)

A nice slice of 50s style rock n roll.

Toad, that slide guitar is a treat and George very well sung indeed.

Nice one guys. This makes me want to go to the local blues bar and listen to some music.  :)  It has a nice live feel to it. Great playing guys!!  8)

Thanks Dave. This was song from back when I used to play live.
George bought it back to life.

Thanks Errol,
It took George & Way2lon's talent to get it here and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
