Just another singer/songwriter. I play all my own instruments (except drums) and record on a Boss BR1200CD standalone multi-track recorder
Just an old Back To The Land hippie that stuck to his plan.

Story behind the song
If you can't stand the heat...write a song about it! Brother Bill on the hot leads.
Lyrics
WELL IT'S 90 IN THE SHADE, AND I CAN'T GET NO RELIEF (X2) MY SANITY'S BEEN STOLEN, AND I'M LOOKIN' FOR THE THIEF WELL I COME HOME WEAK AND WEARY, AND I CRUMBLE IN MY CHAIR (X2) CONFUSION JOININ' FORCES, WITH WORRY AND DESPAIR WORKED ALL DAY FOR PENNIES, OUT IN THE WORLD SO COLD (X2) WHERE NOONE EVER GIVES A DAMN, IF YA MAKE IT OR YA FOLD I'M BANKRUPT OF MY VIRTUES, AND MY SPIRIT'S ON THE WANE (X2) I'M BROKE DOWN, TIRED AND DIRTY...AND I'M THE ONE TO BLAME WELL IT'S 90 IN THE SHADE, AND I CAN'T GET NO RELIEF (X2) MY SANITY'S BEEN STOLEN..AND I'M LOOKIN' FOR THE THIEF.

Great lyrics here and we all know the twelve bar blues, but you got your own take on it like you have on everything, again it's about some poor guy suffering, you can feel his pain, your guitar playing is great on here mate, I always find myself singing along to your songs, because I can relate to them,that's what happens when something is real and natural,I try to do that but you don't have to try, because it's like falling off a log to you,this place would be all the poorer without you around,long may you continue, rockin blues Pinedog style, let's have it !

This was a surprise to me. Didn't hear you rocking out this way before. But it is absolutely great, the guitar work is superb and the song is absolutely a blues rock gem. Great work there, Charlie.
Good timing on this one - it expresses my views on summer pretty dang perfectly.

Man it's getting hot up there in the north woods! Heat wave hits...weatherman baffled!! This is a tasty piece Pine! Great chops, good groove and delivery on the vox and hot guitar licks to heat things up even more...smokin'! I really like the solid "chug" you're getting with the rhythm guitar and the bass line is superb too! Kerry
