‘Blues From Way Down South’ is Jarrod Shaw’s first release for quite some time. This road-worn troubadour has finally decided to sit in front of a couple of microphones, press record, and see what comes out. This one is an acoustic country-blues inspired one-chord tune that tells the story of his musical journey so far. This is the blues... from way down south!

Lyrics

down-home blues from down under
my own style, my story
far away from the deep south
way down south is home to me

way down south, way down south
way down south, way down south

country boy raised in the sticks
heard them blues the first time
can't explain, hit me hard
way down in this heart of mine

cut my teeth on old six string
learnt to play on my own
picked them strings, worked my hands
all the way down to the bone

left my home for the big smoke
worked real hard, paid my dues
hit the road, had high times
all the way down to the blues

down the road I keep travellin'
I don't know where I'm bound
gonna keep ramblin' on
'till I'm way down in the ground

I don't need fame and fortune
make ends meet hand to mouth
gonna sing for my supper
sing the blues from way down south

way down south, way down south
way down south, way down south
way down south, way down south
