Mudhouse-Learn How To Boogie
Mudhouse began as a loose group of refugees from several local bands. We've played as a "Bar Band" for a couple of years,mostly doing original Blues and Rock & Roll covers songs. We no longer play "Live" , and confine ourselves to the recording studio. We have had many guest musicians on our recordings, and have broadened our horizens to include some Country , Reggae, and even a "Jazzy" number!!

Motivated by being unemployed for a short time
Lyrics
UNEMPLOYMENT BLUES J. Chancy- Arraigned by D. Ginn Well I woke up this morning?.?Bout half past eight If I had me a job?.I?d sure ?nuff be late But the Lord loves a working man?.That?s what my mama said But I?m sittin on this barstool ?Tryin to ease my aching head I ain?t got no money?.I done lost my honey I got them unemployment blues I bought my baby a big house?Right on the outside of town I ain?t seen her or my paycheck?Since the factory shut down But the Lord loves a working man?And you know that is the truth I gotta get outta this fix I?m in?While I still got my youth My credit line is shot?.She done took all that I got I got them unemployment blues But you know I ain?t gonna lie?.Cause I know that?s a sin But I?m sure ?nuff gonna climb up? Outta this mess I?m in ?Cause the Lord loves a working man?In that I can?t deny You gotta spread your wings?If you ever ?spect to fly I?m gonna break these chains..My life?ll never be the same I?m gonna lose the unemployment blues

i loved it! Throwback to old George Thorogood days! That big growlin' fat man bass along with the raunchy, low down, in your face guitar tone was too much! Good playin' here and well delivered vocally. A really fun listen. Scoopin' this up for The Remedy!
