This episode, I’m joined by local blues legend, Brother Chunky. He plays a few tunes, then we talk about how he got started making music, the ups and downs of playing in a band and recording his new album. After that, we even write a new song together about going to Nashville.
Here’s Brother Chunky’s Chicken Pot Pie video:
For the recording of “Ode To Nashville (You Gotta Strum),” Brother Chunky sang lead vocals and played the guitar parts. I filled things in with percussion, bass and harmonies.
Lyrics:
When you drive down, to that place
You won’t come back, ever the same
Music playing, on the street
Pickin away now, in that heat
When that chance comes, you better run
When that chance comes, you gotta strum
Yeah, you gotta strum
Head to the Honky Tonk, guitar on my back
I talked to the manager he said, you don’t stand a chance
I got twenty others, ready to play
My advice to you son, you best be on your way
When that chance comes, you better run
When that chance comes, you gotta strum
Yeah, you gotta strum
I finally got my shot to, get on that stage
I started pickin, and blew them away
People were dancing, and having a ball
They threw their money, at my guitar
When that chance comes, you better run
When that chance comes, you gotta strum
Yeah, you gotta strum
