[Link to mp3 file above] I composed a new blues song in November of 2013, "Now That You've Gone." The blues ain't nothin' but a good man feelin' bad... My old rock and roll colleague, Chas Thomas, sang the vocal on the preliminary prototype recording above and played (electric) drums. I played electric bass, an accompanying single strike per measure rhythm guitar track and added a lead guitar track using a 1955 Les Paul with vacuum tube amplifier distortion.

Dm
Now that you’ve gone
A7
All that’s left is my empty fear
Dm
Made me wail that lonely song
A7
Year after broken year
Gm/Gm7
Hold your brush to my face
Bb7 F9
Recall your embrace
Gm7
Lie in the floor like a dog
A7 Bb
Cryin’ for your sweet love
