I thought I new what love was about Then I met you and I found out Now I’m left with nothing Ain’t that something I thought I knew about love before Until you walked through my door Now I’m left with nothing Ain’t that something In all my wildest dreams When I saw you it was too good to be true In all my wildest dreams I never thought I could feel so blue I thought that I was the only one But there was someone else and your heart he’s won Now I’m left with nothing Ain’t that something

My dream ends in the morning when I rise Sunlight shining blinds me in my eyes I can’t wait to roll back into bed Try to forget everything you said I can’t stand myself Never leave me alone It kills me when you’re gone Now everyday I take a step outside my door Gaze at this city, I loved once before A nightmare world that I’ve learned for sure Without you with me it’s hard to endure Laugh to myself, inside me I’m dying A big joke cause I know that I’m lying You stood there screaming, I didn’t hear a thing Now I know what desperation brings

I’m a four-time loser I paid a heavy price Lost all of my fortune To liquor and vice I needed someone to save me After all that I’ve been through I’m glad, yes I’m glad That I’m hanging on to you I did my time in the big house The judge put me away Then on the street hustling And living day to day Somehow I found you Your help pulled me through I’m glad, yes I’m glad That I’m hanging on to you When all hope is gone And it’s time to sign out Just remember my words friend There’s no easy way out Oh we all need someone Who love can pull us through I’m glad, yes I’m glad That I’m hanging on to you

We came up to a signpost A light far down the road Before us begged salvation If we’d only sell our souls Come on let’s roll, see how we roll Come on let’s roll, see how we roll That line between good and evil So very hard to see A mistake here, a slip up there And we’d end up casualties When the time is ready We’ll take a walk on down that path Temptation on our shoulders But we’ll have the very last laugh

Big Daddy Reefer passing through town All you hepcats gotta come on down Talk to your daddy, talk to your daddy Talk to your daddy and everything will be allright Big Daddy Reefer makes you float like a boat All you kittens come on down for a smoke and… Big Daddy Reefer came from Old Mexico Cops are on his tail but before he goes you gotta…

about

Thirteen songs divided between Phil's originals and his timeless renditions of classics from the American folk and blues songbook. The result is an extremely satisfying listen.

Best Albums Of 2014 #12:
"Gammage's voice? A gorgeous Isaak blues and rockabilly thing, the tempo putting the laid into laid back, and the playing a concise evocation of punk discipline (not sound) and Chicago blues (not Southern) momentum."
Rock NYC Live and Recorded

“Gammage has delivered an album that is an infectious, perfectly paced and varied exploration of the most American of musical forms. It captures a band that sounds like they’ve been playing in smoke-filled basement joints since the age of the Beats.”
Bucketful of Brains (U.K.)

“…a great/pleasant surprise. Adventures In Bluesland is not so much an adventure but a pleasurable listening trip.”
Popdose

“I am discussing Phil Gammage’s sweeping modern blues and rock album, which owes so much to everyone one from Presley to Leadbelly but sound not quite like any of them ….it is really about Phil’s wonderful singing; the man seems to have stepped out of 1957 and yet not. He is a one man million dollar quartet and this is an adventure not to be missed.”
Rock NYC Live and Recorded

“…for people who’ve spent some time with the blues (hell, that’s pretty much everybody, right?), it’s a reminder why we like the music.“
