Lord, have mercy, Lord, have mercy on me
Lord, have mercy, Lord, have mercy on me
Well, if I've done somebody wrong
Lord, have mercy if you please

I used to have plenty of money
The finest clothes in town
Bad luck and trouble overtook me
And God, look at me now

Please have mercy, Lord, have mercy on me
And if I've done somebody wrong
Lord, have mercy if you please

Keep on working, my child
Oh, in the morning, oh
Lord, have mercy

If I've been a bad girl, baby
Yeah, I'll change my ways
Don't want bad luck and trouble
On me all my days

Please have mercy, Lord, have mercy on me
And if I've done somebody wrong
Lord, have mercy if you please
Have mercy on me

Watching Beth Hart live at Rock City, Nottingham, UK was one of the finest gigs.  A hot, sweaty venue deserves some hot sweaty blues.

Lydia Pense. 

And i thought i was the only living person who had heard of Cold Blood.

For the uninitiated:

You are the sunshine of my life covered by Cold Blood

I can say this about Bonamassa, he has a nice guitar collection. Otherwise BLUES HAMMER HACK



I'm guessing that 's some kind of illiterate insult. ALL CAPS, NO LESS. Glad I'm not such a blues aficionado.

I should have guessed that Joe Bonamassa was involved as this is pure, 24-carat, unadulterated, chewy, shit-kickin' blues rock. The motherlode. Beth Hart's got the right voice for it, too. An immediate 8 from the toe-tappin' Nottingham jury.



Them's some fine descriptors! Agree fully!

A concert. What's that? I faintly remember something called a rock concert that happened before covid-19 came along. Currently, concerts feel like an ancient piece of history.

He was a phenom at 8 years old.  I remember reading about him in the Syracuse New Times in the late Seventies and early Eighties.

Hah listen to his new album Loud Hailer.  I blaring it full blast the other day and my 19 year old came down and said "OMG who is this,m it's SICK"  and spent the rest of the song lurching about the kitchen,

I m seeing Joe on Sunday at the Chesapeake Bay Blues Fest. Beth was there 2 years ago and she can really perform. Joe is so amazing live. He is like that old Memorex commercial his sound just blows you away.

I saw Beth Hart open for - somebody - way back in about 2001.  She rocked!  I think it says a lot that I remember her and not the main act.  Check out her album "Screamin' for my Supper".
