Ive been playing blues for a long time with different bands. It all began electric, kind of a blues-rock with lots of screaming guitars.. With age came the love for softer pure acoustic music. Acoustic blues won my heart!! Best described as a mix of old-timey slideguitar Delta/Country-blues and Spirituals that have been heard and felt by audiences on numerous concerts and shows around the midst of Scandinavia. The heart in the music is the genuine sound of ol'timey resonator guitars, when performing, me and my band also play piano, pump-organ, washboard, harmonica, double-bass, mandolin, kazoo and other typical instruments of the golden era! And what a wonderful sound they all make!!

Story behind the song
It just came to me! Had to be written.. 4 months ago a girl entered my life and made me live again..
Lyrics
Now listen y´all people, yeah, you´d best hear me out, just a little closer now, I can barely whisper, haven´t got no strength to shout! For a long time now, I´ve been in my walkin´ shoes.. That road was long and winding so now hear my tired man blues.. Sometimes all sunshine, sometimes life´s a muddy trail, one day your summerbreeze turns into a cold rain and hail.. For a long time now, I´ve been in my walkin´ shoes.. That road was long and winding so now hear my tired man blues.. So I guess I´ll keep on walking, take my hand and lead me on. With my sweet woman by my side, now all my tired blues are gone, For a long time now, I´ve been in my walkin´ shoes.. Now it´s time to settle down, I´ll sing no more tired man blues!!
