Dear Texas Music Fan,
The analog reels have been spinning here in Sugar Land, Texas capturing a brand of blues/rock I hope fans will want to hear over and over again. The opening song on this CD, “Fountain of Youth”, tells of my experience on becoming a grandparent. I now get to play with toys I never had. Well, maybe I did have a tricycle, but it was still fun posing on Gavin’s for this cover!
Those of us old enough to remember the “Love You Blue” days in Houston are definitely ready for some Super Bowl football from the home team as mentioned in “Houston Texan Time”.
“I’m Your Man” is a love ballad for my wife, Patty.
I love the energy level on the first lead guitar break on “Shoulda Coulda Woulda”. The lyrics to this tune are very true for me. All of the things I planned, but never accomplished can be blamed on, you guessed it, “Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda”!
“Once You’ve Been Down” is an acoustic tune written for a friend who hit bottom from drinking.
The picture of the puppy on the back of this fold-out is Buddy, the Chihuahua Patty & I once owned. This is the puppy that provided the inspiration and frustration behind “Puppy Love”.
The story behind “Gravestone of Mine” involves an inebriated man who wandered into a cemetery by mistake and starting singing to one of the markers as if the stone itself would guarantee salvation.
“Driving Crazy Ethel” was recorded in Bryan with Rick and Cora Moses. Rick Moses and I played in a high school rock band in the late 60’s.
1968 was a magical year for me as expressed in “Abby’s ’57 T-Bird”.
The “Good Old Days” tells of a time when a man’s good word was all he needed to survive. Great keys here by Mike Eli and lead by Keith Goggin.
“Fruits & Nuts” is a song written and performed by Cora Moses.
“Get You Back in Life” promotes the theme of helping and coaching young people who fall to drugs and alcohol.
“Too Many Women” is a remake performed by co-writer, Darrell Rodriguez. Darrell has been a drummer in many bands in Houston since the mid 1970’s and has played on many of the songs from Hot Texas Tunes.
Mike Snelling adds a touch of class to the Van Morrison classic, “Moon Dance”, a song he performs live with the band at all of the private parties and functions. Mike is also a drummer on many of the other recordings.
Don Irby sings a cool version of Tony Joe White’s “Polk Salad Annie”. Don also plays bass on most of the other Hot Texas Tunes recordings.
“Snake Farm” has to be Ray Wylie Hubbard’s best song to date because the band always gets more requests for it than for any other at the live gigs. Keith Cannon takes the song further here by adding his style of lead guitar to it.
“Dark Soul” is a remake from the See Me Burn CD with lead guitar by Teri Green.
Just “Let It Ride” is always good advice for a stress-free life. “Freedom has a price/Turn the other cheek/It’ll make you strong/Give you the peace you seek”.
Writing songs has always been spiritually healing for me as expressed in “Sin into Song”.
The Jimi Hendrix song, “Red House” provides an energetic conclusion to Fountain of Youth! Be sure to check out the website, https://www.tradebit.com for more information about the band and the other CDs from Hot Texas Tunes!
Sincerely,
Ed Maly
