Change in the weather

Another song which has had a few incarnations over the years. 
It started as a slide song back in the Malt Whiskey days.. 

Background is basically about wanting to play music in an acoustic style and connect with the old guys but getting stuck in Bands that always go the same.. Some “Band leader” knows whats best and you just tow the line sonny.. 

But not only acoustic Blues, but the whole idea of a solo acoustic musician was always (since the very beginning) what I aspired to be.. 

Frank Yamma was the dude who reminded me who I wanted to be.. I don’t know the guy but I went to a gig at the Gumeracha town hall where a Blues band I wanted to watch was playing.. they were really good.. in an Adelaide Blues scene kinda way… but Frank I had never heard of.

Seeing him sitting on a chair on a lonely stage was powerful he seemed way more like Lightnin’ Hopkins than the Blues band I went to see. 

He sung his own songs in his own style (which were killer) and was just chilled, no fancy dress, no sales gimmicks.. just a bloke and a guitar and some tunes he wrote. 

What  I always wanted to be but could never seem to get there.

Change in the weather is just all of that.. 

“Its time that rock went rolling and these sweet ol’ Blues come back home to me”..

Cheers

Change in the Weather

Feel a change in the weather a cool mist on the breeze,

Ol’ times a ticking, got my soul in dis-ease

The Blues so consuming Baby gotta hold o’ me

Its time track went rollin’ and these sweet ol’ Blues…

Come back home to me..

Feel a change in the weather, no more sunny days .

The wind it’s a rising, I get liking it that way

The Blues so consuming; Lifts a sad rainy day

Its time rock went rollin.. and these sweet ol’ Blues..

Come back home to stay..
 

Change in the weather its a long old lonely night

I looked to the dark in my soul… I knew..

The Blues was my light

Change in the weather storm clouds rollin’ in

The temperatures are falling but the mood happenin’

The Blues so consuming,  like rain seeping in 

Its time that Rock went rollin”..

N these sweet Ol’ Blues… 

Come back home again
