about

My second demo, 'Whilst You're Gone' definitely has some Delta Blues influences; I wrote it about the time I had just started learning songs by Tampa Red and Gus Cannon. There's also some heavy riff based stuff going on here which I love the sound of, and gives a heavier element to the song. I hope you enjoy this track as much as I enjoy playing it. It's written in Open D tuning, and performed on my Michael Messer Lightning resonator guitar which is amplified through my Fender Hot Rod Deluxe 3 tube amp, vocals have been recorded on a Green Bullet which has been routed through a Boss Blues Driver pedal.

lyrics

While you’re gone, said I’m gonna sing your song,
While you’re gone, said I’m gonna sing your song.

Going way down low,
Nobody needs to know,
How you make me bleed,
Like a buzzard to the breeze.

While you’re gone, said I’m gonna sing your song,
While you’re gone, said I’m gonna sing your song.

Going way down South,
They’re living hand to mouth,
They’re playing delta blues,
Nobody’s gonna lose.

How can they breach you, when your hearts as cold as mine,
Don’t let them touch you, we’ll build castles in the sky,
You’re as cold as ice, broken dreams will never lie,
Kiss like fire babe, one heart true desire.

Before you let them catch you please,
Just call on me...

Before you let them catch you please,
Just call on me...

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.
