Here's my latest Blues Slide Guitar song called "It Always Tends To End This Way". A belter of a Blues Rock tune that I think will have you dancing around the living room in no time! Lyrically I've kept the subject matter quite light; talking about things like substance abuse, self destructive behavior coupled with a healthy dose of narcissism... At the time of writing this track I was listening to a lot of Delta Blues and Texas Blues, in particular Robert Johnson and Buck Babe Turner. Which naturally bled through into the slide guitar style of playing. I was also listening to a lot of Queens of The Stone Age's new album Villains, which is just fantastic. I have recently started experimenting with Hammond Organ and Synth sounds on my tracks, this has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me sonically, which is really exciting. You will also notice that the wonderful Laura Janes has helped me on backing vocals, it's always handy having a professional singer in the household. Lyrics are as follows: Verse 1 God will never let you know, Just hold back and let it go, Pinned my shit against the wall, Grab a beer and watch it all fall. Chorus This is my complacency dependancy, And it always tends to end this way. Verse 2 I’ve been here many times before Wash it back and beg for more, Right or wrong time will tell, My perfectly constructed hell. Chorus This is my complacency dependancy, And it always tends to end this, This is my complacency dependancy, And it always tends to end this, This is my complacency dependancy, And it always tends to end this, This is my complacency dependancy, And it always tends to end this way. Bridge Just sit back and watch it fall, It will take no time at all, You can never take it back, Just like a suicide attack. Chorus This is my complacency dependancy, And it always tends to end this, This is my complacency dependancy, And it always tends to end this, This is my complacency dependancy, And it always tends to end this, This is my complacency dependancy, And it always tends to end this way.

Here's my latest Bottleneck Blues Slide Guitar cover. It's called 'The Black Ace' and was originally written and performed by Buck (Babe) Turner in 1937 and then again in 1960. I've covered the 1960s version. I learnt this number whilst on the road traveling for 6 months with my wife Laura, on our honeymoon. This song certainly was a challenge to play, and really pushed me as a bottleneck slide guitar player. That being said I'm pretty happy with the take I recorded here. The songs in Open G tuning in the concert key of A. I recorded it on my Black Jack Deluxe Cigar box guitar, I recorded the vocals through my Shure Green bullet harp mic. I hope you enjoy listening, if you do please give it a like and a share or leave a comment. Cheers Lawless Luke.

"I'll See You At The Crossroads" is the latest track from Lawless Luke, Delta Blues Slide Guitar player and composer. I started writing this tune in Australia, somewhere between Narooma and Sydney. It was around this time that I packed in my job to pursue my music career, so the subject matter is quite apt. I think subconsciously I was coming to a crossroads in my life, and thats where the hook came from. At the same time I was reading a book about Robert Johnson, so the whole crossroads legend and mystique naturally bled into the lyrics. Musically I was playing a lot of Buck (Babe) Turner's songs, so again some of that influence came out in the Delta Blues Slide Guitar work. This song was written on my Black Jack Cigar Box Guitar in Open G tuning. I recorded this one in Garageband, wrote the theme tune, sang the theme tune, etc. My amazingly talented wife Laura helped me out with backing vocals. This song may just become the title to my next album...watch this space.

Devil At Your Door, is a track I first thought up when listening to Tom Jones and Seasick Steve playing some stripped down blues thing...I was inspired so I picked up the guitar and wrote this track. For me the song has become more poignant in recent years, especially with the continued rise of greedy and corrupt politicians like Trump and Putin...it certainly feels like we have a number of Devils knocking on our doors...batten down the hatches, we are in for a bumpy ride! #fucktrump
