You know what I'm craving?
That's right, some good old-fashioned Texas blues.
Here's Mike Zito [D] with the story and a live [A] performance of the title cut to his 2016 album [E] called
Make Blues Not War.
Make Blues Not War is the name of my new album, and [D] that's the name of the title track, [A] obviously.
You know, it sounds political.
I'm not a really political guy.
I'm kind of like, [E] let's all get along.
It's really more of a love slash sex story [A] about a man and a woman, you know, like fighting and like, come on,
let's stop fighting and let's get back to making, [G] you know, getting where the good stuff is.
[A]
In fact, it even [E] mentions in the last verse, says, you know, that Robert [B] Johnson,
[D] Muddy Waters said it to you, [A] BB King said, you know, [E] the blues is good for you.
You know, the blues being making love, [G] you know, it's good for you.
And that's what [A] all those songs are about, like feeling good even when times are tough, you know.
So it's it's kind of a throwback.
