about

"I'll See You At The Crossroads" is the latest track from Lawless Luke, Delta Blues Slide Guitar player and composer. I started writing this tune in Australia, somewhere between Narooma and Sydney. It was around this time that I packed in my job to pursue my music career, so the subject matter is quite apt. I think subconsciously I was coming to a crossroads in my life, and thats where the hook came from.

At the same time I was reading a book about Robert Johnson, so the whole crossroads legend and mystique naturally bled into the lyrics. Musically I was playing a lot of Buck (Babe) Turner's songs, so again some of that influence came out in the Delta Blues Slide Guitar work. This song was written on my Black Jack Cigar Box Guitar in Open G tuning. I recorded this one in Garageband, wrote the theme tune, sang the theme tune, etc. My amazingly talented wife Laura helped me out with backing vocals. This song may just become the title to my next album...watch this space.

lyrics

I'll See You At The Crossroads

Verse
Sweet sugar mama,
Said not to go,
I said pretty mama,
I'm gonna miss the show,
I should have left you darling,
Back in 1985,
But you taste so good back then,
Like a glass of moonshine.

Chorus
I'll see you at the crossroads,
Where the hell hounds roam,
I'll see you at the crossroads,
Where the devil makes his own.

Verse
I saw the doctor, she said my my,
That pretty doctor said lay off the moonshine!
I should have listened darling...
Right now I'd be pretty fine,
But the whisky and the women,
Sure gone wrecked my mind!

Chorus
I'll see you at the crossroads,
Where the hell hounds roam,
I'll see you at the crossroads,
Where the devil makes his own.

Outro
Wish I'd never met you, yeah,
Right now I'd be doing alright,
If I'd never met you, yeah,
My my, my my,
Met the devil at the crossroads, yeah,
Dark thoughts are on my mind
Met the devil at the crossroads, yeah,
My, my, my, my...

about

Lawless Luke Coventry, UK

I'm a solo slide guitar performer & vocalist, if you're looking for foot stomping raucous blues on a resonator guitar, you've come to the right place! I blend blues and alternative rock to produce something a bit different from the majority of generic polished crap you hear nowadays.
I take influence from old blues artists like Blind Willie Johnson through to alternative rockers like Placebo.
