(Blues Rock) Rusty McCarthy - Black Dog - 2015, MP3, 320 kbps

This is my third CD dedicated to the blues. The effort of many gifted players recorded in Toronto, Kincardine, St Catherine's and Sault Ste. Marie over a two year period. The tunes themselves are: Black Dog - is loosely based a dog that bite me when I was 5 years old, i still have the scar on my left arm. Old Wind Blows - lyrically is playing with Confucius style quotations on a delta shuffle. This River - a rocking' blues tale of a lad from an industrial River town. Dixie Blues - the woman who went south to Louisiana for a visit. New York City Blues - is about my adventures in NYC in the 80's and 90's. Can't Take the Boogie - well I like to dance but she's embarrassed by my freelancing style. We Can Move On - we hurt each other but grow stronger. Long Way Down - The higher you get the harder you fall. State Of Affairs - a diplomatic play on words. Candy Man - I'll get whatever treat she needs. Cork Blues - I was in Cork Ireland doing a blues gig when my Dad passed away. Sophisticated - Classy groove for a classy girl. Thats how life Goes - Driving home reminiscing about how it all turned out.
