FDJ (Desert Psychlist) Superb funky blues grooves, great soulful vocals, a parping horn section and rhythms that'll make your toes twitch ....Put this on at a party and watch that floor fill up. Favorite track: Do I Look Like I Give A Funk.

Pumpkin Thierry Such a stunning album for fans of Heavy Blues! Here you could hear Led Zeppelin, ZZ-Top, or Aerosmith but in fact it is THE WEALTHY HOBOS. A new, fresh and friendly sonic experience!

MANTRA DYSTOPIA : It's all in your mind and you have to face it There's no shame to cry, if it helps to fix it Spread your love now don't hesitate no more Give yourself the power its not complicated Try brother, try, give yourself a chance to shine Be wiser and stronger, and keep hanging on Try brother, try, give yourself a chance to shine Be wiser and stronger, and keep hanging on Deep in your soul, the flame keeps burning Make it all real, and focus on a dream Try brother, try, give yourself a chance to shine Be wiser and stronger, and keep hanging on Try brother, try, give yourself a chance to shine Be wiser and stronger, and keep hanging on May you'll find wisdom, sing it like a mantra Feed your head and spread love all around you

TURN IT (ALL AROUND) I've tried to calm my nerves And find the right words But there were some complications And bad reactions Some say that time can cure it all Or give an understanding So keep calm and carry on Don't stop believing Girl, we'll turn it all around We'll turn it all around I've tried to step back and really think About the thing that we've been through And what we both knew I've tried to hide all my tears And all my sorrow I'd like to chase all your fears Deep inside I really know We'll turn it all around We'll turn it all around I've heard what you said And I've heard all the reasons I'll keep the best of what we shared together I had some visions of us in the past But now these times are gone Happened so fast Don't stop believing, keep keep your head up Don't stop believing, you better find a way Don't stop believing, keep keep your head up Don't stop believing, you better find a way Don't stop believing, keep keep your head up Don't stop believing, you better You better find a way

SHADOW PEOPLE More and more lives need a place to call home Once they were just like you and me Stuck on cold ground all day long And we all pretend not to see Used to be somebody Everyone has a story Even the shadow people Cold bodies with desperate souls Each days living a dying dream Used to be somebody Everyone has a story Even the shadow people Used to be somebody Everyone has a story Even the shadow people

Loose Cannon 03:47
LOOSE CANNON I was known as the madman In my time in jail I tasted many powders and booze Trouble with lawyer, no excuse And now some call me mister swing Soul blues and boogie I can sing I'm a saint in bad luck But me and my gang together we'll stand Hey here I stand Yeah don't you remember my name Hey here I stand Yeah don't you remember my name Loose, loose, loose... Hey here I stand yeah, Yeah don't you remember my name my name my name Hey here I stand Yeah don't you remember my name

DO I LOOK LIKE I GIVE A FUNK Touch me baby swing it real good You know i've been up and down All night long Don't have to fake it, dont have to try it hard Just relax my shoulders and I can keep on singing I say heyeheyhey ohohoh come on down down down Shakin and trembling Let your body move Keep it up and let it slide All down the line Feel like i'm living Catch me i'm sweating Come on baby turn me on Just sink into the funk I say heyeheyhey ohohoh come on down down down So crack the bottle and dance the night away No matter what they do, no matter what they say No matter what they do, no matter what they say No matter what they do, no matter what they say I say heyeheyhey ohohoh come on down down down So crack the bottle and dance the night away No matter what they do, no matter what they

My Medicine 03:25
MY MEDICINE My legs are tired as i'm walkin by The edge in the middle of the town Oh when the sun is down I need to walk around And talk with myself I need a light to guide me Something to satisfy me I have to find just who I am And on the streets i'm all alone Well on the streets i'm turning around'n'around and around Another night with all these cars around And the city lights remind me all my doubts I got my dreams inside Tryin' to keep my pride Among all these faces My eyes up to the sky Just looking for a sign I know it's time to make up my mind And on the streets i'm all alone Well on the streets i'm turning around and around and around And on the streets i'm all alone Well on the streets i'm turning around and around and around And on the streets i'm all alone Well on the streets i'm turning around and around and around
8.
STUCK BEHIND OPEN DOORS Looking for something brighter All in a quest for something pure It's time to clarify it all And get out of this spiral We know our time ain't long Some say the good old days are gone Among these flamming streets Under this burning heat Let's start a movement And purify our souls Let's start it all Even if this world flip you upside down Gimme these spines of emotions And scrape the shit right off my shoes I live for times of elevation And find the force to light my fuze Sometime dust can turn to gold So reach out to people Come on and satisfy your soul And try to be humble Let's start a movement And purify our souls Let's start it all Even if this world flip you upside down Let's start a movement And purify our souls Let's start it all Even if this world flip you upside down Let's start it all, let's start it all

Big Blue Bus 03:38
Big Blue Bus Waiting for the bus in the station’s hall It’s gonna take me far from my soul Well I’m wasted baby now, I gotta go back home I’m a rover with a beer sticking in my hand I’m waiting for the trip baby here I stand I wanna traveling baby now I wanna traveling higher Well I’m waiting I’m still waiting I’m waiting for the bus, for the big blue bus Well I’m waiting I’m still waiting I’m waiting all night long for the big blue bus I saw a midget who stole my gold For me it was like a wake up cold And I vomit all over my blue suede shoes Well I see two lights are coming now One last sip before I go Come on and rock this town boy Make the girls screaming yeah Come on shaking down, shaking down , shaking down Well I’m waiting I’m still waiting I’m waiting for the bus, for the big blue bus Well I’m waiting I’m still waiting I’m waiting all night long for the big blue bus Well I’m waiting I’m still waiting I’m waiting for the bus, for the big blue bus Well I’m waiting I’m still waiting I’m waiting all night long for the big blue

TRAVELIN' HOBOS I had dirty hands and my quiet old jean I was a rolling stone you know what it means My dad worked so hard he was a gambling man And now I play the blues for you with my friends Traveling hobos Well i'm the kind of man who don't sleep at night Oh baby won't you come into my life Never more than one week by town Baby won't you come, baby won't you come Oh don't you wanna oh don't you wanna lady ? Traveling hobos

Misery Song 03:41
MISERY SONG When god threw me out of heaven Me and my people fell down We felt deep, we felt deep We felt deep into the cold cold ground And I sing a song it's the misery song I was feeling lost and insecure In this new forgotten place So I played, well I played I played my guitar 'till my fingers bled And I sing a song it's the misery song And I sing a song it's the misery song I'll be the bad guy they want me to be The balance to this world But one day, one day One day I'll rise from underworld And I sing a song it's the misery song And I sing a song it's the misery song And I sing a song it's the misery song And I sing a song it's the misery song

Burn Baby Burn I met a girl, and she drives me mad Someday she loves me, another time she’s bad She knows all the guys, she knows all the bars Walkin’ through the city like a big rockstar And I said, Burn baby burn Burn like a roman candle Burn baby Burn Burn like a Roman candle In the night Burn like a Roman candle In the night She’s like the evil twin Late night she’s my queen We break all the rules We got no time to lose No wedding ring and no promises Just tears of love, just tears of love And I said burn baby burn Burn like a Roman candle Burn baby burn Burn like a Roman candle In the night Burn like a Roman candle In the night And I said burn baby burn Burn like a Roman candle Burn baby burn Burn like a Roman candle In the night Burn like a Roman candle In the night Burn Keep on burning yeah Keep on burning yeah Burn baby
