CHROMATIC CHRISTMAS
Chromatic harmonica blues master Big Harp George backed by a selection of the juiciest cream of current blues musicians, gives us this album that without a doubt you cannot find a better collection of Christmas songs for this hope days. Eleven cuts impregnated with optimism, joy, enthusiasm and a wonderful performance that empathizes with the listener from the first chord, turning listening into an authentic celebration party. As always, Bisharat offers us doses of the best jump blues stripped of artifice, packed with moments of electrifying rhythm, contaminating groove and a harmonica that sounds better than ever. That said, you cannot surpass this christmas this large-scale musical work.
Hey where’ll I be for Christmas? Girl, I really don’t even know
You ask: where’ll I be for Christmas? Man, I really don’t even know
My ma and pa are gone and I don’t have no place to go
Cold shoulder from my workmates and it seems an awful sin
Got tired of lending me money, waiting for my horse to come in Where’ll I be for Christmas? Man, I really don’t even know
All my old friends have left me and I don’t have no place to go
My brother slammed the door behind me, caught me tipping his son’s piggy bank
Kid don’t need damned quarters like I need myself a drink!
Where’ll I be for Christmas? Girl, I really don’t even know
My family’s turned its back on me, and I don’t have no place to go
Your daddy he won’t have me, don’t deserve his little peach
Guess my plan to marry up is looking more like a reach
Where’ll I be for Christmas? Man, I really don’t even know Everybody’s turned me out, and I don’t have no place to go
Guess I’ll settle on my little couch, glass of whiskey and some blow Have my own special white Christmas with my very own kind of snow Where’ll I be for Christmas? Well, it’s starting to be clear:
Burned a few too many bridges, so I’ll be sitting ‘lone right here!
"Where'll I Be For Christmas" - Lirycs
