Got a call for a gig just the other day
At a real nice place, or so they say (a713b9)
There's just one thing that the venue said:
"It's great exposure but there ain't no bread"
I can't pay rent with exposure dollars
Can't pay tuition or become a scholar
Can't lease a car or fix my bike
Better off to take a hike
That's why I ain't got nobody,
Yea, nobody...
nobody cares for me!
That's why I'm so sad and lonely,
Won't some sweet mama
come and take a chance with me?
I'll sing sweet ballads most of the time,
but if you want those django tunes you're gonna have to pay more than a dime

Hearing Naomi open up her voice on this blues track is great! This very lively record is a great pick-me-up. Fine musicianship, solid singer, highly swinging. Alex P

I love this ENTIRE album!!! How to chose a favourite (Well Read Baby?!) Keenan's album is a tour de force of songs that were written now, but he's so totally internalized the style that they sound like they are from another century! The musicianship, arrangements, and the voice of Laura Windley are great. This is my fave vocal showing from Laura, too! (and she has lots of great records) Can't recommend this highly enough Alex P
