STRETCH LIMOUSINE "HEADIN DOWN" TO THE LOW DOWN SIDE OF TOWN

Listen up folks........here's another song by local boogie boys 'Stretch Limousine'.

A few weeks back we posted Stretch Limousine's version of Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Hug You Squeeze You ".  Click on the title in The PBGB Vault to catch that bit of backroom boogie, and to read about how it was that Stretch Limousine came to motor right into the PBGB Shed.

The Limos put down a few songs on the day, including an original song called 'Headin Down'. Vocalist and Lead Guitar player Stevie Knight told us that Headin Down was written by Melbourne band Electric Mud, for whom he played bass back in the early 90s.

'Headin' Down' is a classic Southern style blues, in both structure and story. The lyrics conjure up those time honoured blues laments of despair, worry, broken men, broken lives and life in general on the low down side of town.

If you like Johnny Winter you'll be right at home with Headin' Down !  It's a forlorn yet jumpy  little number that does a great job of showcasing the talents of this throwdown threesome.

The boys reeled it off in a single take, so what you hear is straight off the desk, one go, no add ons or re-runs.

Nice one lads !!!  We enjoyed the session and we dig featuring original material by local musos on our website.........so how about headin' down to The Shed for more ?
