Artist: Rhythm Expres
Title: Driftin' Blues (feat. Bill King)
Label: Side Door Records
Genre: Blues
“I’ve had this song in my repertoire the past twenty years, one I discovered while searching through a variety of West Coast blues compilations. Los Angles of the 40s’ was a hotbed for blues trios – Oscar Moore featuring pianist/vocalist Nat Cole and brother Johnny Moore showcasing the smooth delivery of pianist/singer Charles Brown at the core of the unit.
One of the first songs Brown ever penned was Driftin’ Blues while a high school teenager and also one he first sang in live performance. Driftin’ Blues is rooted in church and gospel, and that battleground been secular and religious types – that push and pull between roots church and popular music.
Pablo, Shaky, Jesse and I booked a session at Paul’s Side Door Studio and let it rip – open microphones and a couple of run-throughs. Hammond organ was draped on then Shaky J’s blistering guitar reminiscent of that 60s’ San Francisco fusion of blues and psychedelia - Johnny Winter’s band – a bit of Jimi Hendrix – Janis, Canned Heat and those flat off-the-floor sessions - the Paul Butterfield Blues Project and Electric Flag sides of the 60s’ featuring keyboards and guitar - The Fillmore concerts with blue notes bleeding on one another - that space in between drenched in indigo and crimson.” – Bill King
“Well, I'm drifting, and I'm drifting, like a ship out on the sea
Drifting and I'm drifting, like a ship out on the sea
Well, I ain't got nobody, in this world to care for me.”
