Marty Christian - Guitar and Vocals
Andy Cornett - Harmonica (on Piney Wood Boogie and Sentimental Blues)
Gritty, down and dirty and definitely hurting, Underground Blues is everything that the blues should be. A largely stripped down recording of Marty Christian on guitar and vocal, he is joined by Andy Cornett and his harmonica on “Piney Wood Boogie.” Together they certainly punch above their weight. “Last Bus to Memphis” leaves you down and out; standing on the dusty road in the rising steam of summer heat. There are some real nice little guitar accents in this song that really set the mood. Steeped in traditional sound, “Never Find a True Love Again” and “Blackbird” both have an ageless quality.
There is a lot of Louisiana soul in Christian’s delivery that can only come from life in the bayou absorbing experience from the masters that came before him. “Sentimental Blues” absolutely aches through each deliberate note. There is drama, confusion, conflict and resolve in the presentation of this track; it just feels so sincere. I like the clean, unfussy desperation in “What Kind of Fool Am I”; Christian really nails that spirit of this one. Proving his command of musical language “Underground Groove” has the complexity needed to make this a spell binding instrumental. Well put together and worth the spin or two on the old turn table, Underground Blues won’t disappoint.

-
If you want a love that’s gonna’ last
Not just something that’s in your past
I want you to take your heart and throw it in
the deep blue sea
If you want a love that’ll treat you right
Not just somethin’ you dream about every night
I want you to take your heart and throw it in
the deep blue sea
I know you won’t settle for nothing less
Baby, I know you respect yourself and Lord knows
you expect the best
But if you think you can have it all
You better get down every night and pray
Because if you ain’t got no more love from me,
all that ain’t gonna’ matter anyway
If you want a love that’ll open up your door
like never before
Take your heart and throw it in the deep blue sea
Take that little heart down to the river
Baby, I want you to watch it swim away from you
Because if you leave me standing here today
That’s what you might as well do - Track Name: Baby on her Hip (Bonus)
-
She was at the grocery store with a baby on her hip
The look she gave me said “Man, don’t give me no lip -
You don’t know what I’m goin’ through.
So get out of my way and let me do what I do”
She said “Oh, let me by, man. I got a ticket for the promised land.
The things we do before we die,
well they’ll make you break down and cry.”
Well she barely had enough to get something to eat
She didn’t have time to put the shoes on her baby’s feet
And I know that young girl, she just looks normal to you
But her mind’s all messed up and she’s so confused
She’s tryin’ to look like she knows what she’s doin’
But the money’s almost gone and the bill collectors
- man, they ain’t foolin’
Late at night, she’s throwin’ plates at walls
And when she cries for help no one answers her call
She said “Oh, let me by, man. I got a ticket for the promised land.
The things we do before we die,
well they’ll make you break down and cry.”
Her old man lost his job. He’s workin’ under the table
He’s thinkin’ about gettin’ clean but he don’t know if he’s able
He keeps promisin’ to be a better man
But their life ain’t no beach and they can’t pay it off with sand
She said “Oh, let me by, man. I got a ticket for the promised land.
The things we do before we die,
well they’ll make you break down and cry.”
