about

Recorded live at Scott's Addition Sound, Richmond, VA. 2012

lyrics

Hey bartender
Give me a beer
And a bottle of whiskey
You better leave it here

And if drinkin' don't work
I know what I've got to do
Got to go out tonight
And get me a shot of blues

You see I work real hard
But I'm still broke
And it won't be long
Until I reach the end of my rope

But right this minute
I'm just glad this long week is through
So tonight I'm going out
and get me a shot of blues

See my good girl quit me
And left me all alone
It ain't no use in me sittin'
Cryin' at home

Because one of these days
She's going to be sorry too
For now I'm goin' out
Get me a shot of blues

When I get downhearted
There's one thing that I find
That keeps me sane
And eases my worried mind

I got my music
That's something I can never lose
So tonight I'm goin' out
And get me a shot of blues

Barrelhouse Richmond, Virginia

With two guitars, an overdriven harmonica, a notoriously tight rhythm section, and three vocalists, Barrelhouse strives to create something unique, all while giving a respectful nod to the celebrated blues tradition that brought them together.
