1.. Gettin' By - Jerry Jeff Walker Jerry Jeff's music has had a very big influence on me. This is usually our first song of the night A silly little song that just happens to be a perfect description of my life and my music. |
2. Come From the Heart* -Susanna Clark/Richard Leigh Another song with a life message, written by Guy Clark's wife. | 3. Doctor My Eyes* -Jackson Browne
The beauty of having your own band and only performing in the clubs you choose, is that you can play as many Jackson Browne songs as you like. |
4. Early in the Morning** - L. Jordan/L. Hickman/D. Barley
I picked this up off an old Louis Jordan album. The blues were a big part of my teens and I was lucky enough to see some great live shows by Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, B.B. King, and Johnny Winter. You can't play in a club without doing some blues. |
5. Fly By Night* - Nanci Griffith Nanci Griffith has been my favourite singer-songwriter since discovering her music in the late 80's. Her music touches me in a very special way. It seems like it was written for just me to sing. |
6. You Turn Me On I'm A Radio* - Joni Mitchell A great Canadian folk song. |
7. Willie and the Hand Jive** -J. Otis/ B. Long/ E.Lightborn We call this one, "Big Noise from Niagara", featuring a duet with me and the great Penner MacKay pounding on my bass strings with his drum sticks. |
8. Weekends With the Local Fringe** - S. Goldberger/H. Brinsmead/ D.S. Karr Yes, an original song about our crazy friends and wonderful wacky life in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Written one wild night with my wife Dory Karr and our good friend Heather Brinsmead. |
9. Damn Your Eyes* - Barbara Wyrick/Steve Bogard Another fabulous Etta James blues standard that I learned while working with local Toronto singer Gayle Ackroyd. |
10. It Takes A lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry* -Bob Dylan I get to play some guitar once in a while and Eric blows a mean harp on this one. Sorry Mr. Dylan, I forgot one verse that night. |
11. Last of the True Believers* - The Nanci Griffith song that got me hooked. |
12. Old Weakness* - G. Nicholson/B. DiPiero I've done several Delbert McLinton songs over the years. This is a more recent one. |
13. Heard it Through the Grapevine** - Norman Whitfield/Barrett Strong I am so lucky to work with such fabulous musicians. Eric Mahar, Dave Norris and I have worked in many bands together since the late 1980's. Eric is a wonderful singer and this song features his vocal mastery on a night when his new girlfriend was in the audience for the first time. He's gonna kill me for saying this, but he was truly in rare form that night! |
14. The Joker** -S. Miller/E. Curtis/A. Ertegun "People say I'm doin' this song all wrong!" Do I care? Also, note a little bit of Jackson Browne at the end. |
15. Yard Bird Suite* - Charlie Parker We like to venture into a little jazz instrumental every once in a while. Unfortunately the tape ran out on this one. |
