And I got this rock-blues fix from the Bluegrass state. Blind Peace (Tony Sell, vocals; JW Gregory, guitar; Derek Lester, bass; and Mike Stevens, drums) from Albany, KY, provided that for me. Thanks, guys!
Three songs later, I was satisfied. What songs did I hear? I'll be more than happy to share them with you.
"Rebel Son"-a deep, soulful, and I dare say spiritual song, about a son leaving home, and his mom's difficulty in letting go. The lyrics to the first verse of this song echo the second of Bad Company's "Shooting Star." A modern-day Prodigal Son portrayed in a classic rock-style song.

"Lonesome"...well, I don't have it in me, either, to write a song called "Born to Lose." However, I know "Lonesome" would be better, and I and my listeners would get what they need out of it. I might even sound cliche when I say this, but this is the ideal song that portrays, with apologies to 1986's Crossroads, "The blues ain't nothing but a good man feelin' bad."

"Walkin' Shoes"-rock-blues at their best, hardest, from start to finish-Blind Peace's face-melting song. What I respect about lead singer Tony is in the opening lines, he has a perfect opportunity to say SOB...but he doesn't. My hats...er, walkin' shoes...off to you, you son of a gun. Peace, love, Blind Peace!!
