Hey, Can You Guys Play…

Released: 2023

A compilation of The Hitman Blues Band versions of great songs, most in the unique Hitman Blues Band style! With the exception of “Sunday Morning Coming Down”, these have all been released on previous albums, so if you’re new to The Hitman Blues Band and would like to “get your feet wet”, this is the perfect choice!

Featuring both the full band (with horns), two cuts from Hitman’s solo release, and a live cover from the quartet days, this runs the emotional gamut from the whimsical “Good Morning Judge” to the chilling “Death Letter”.

So sit back, take a breath, and go on a journey with The Hitman Blues Band to rediscover and reinvent some of the songs that made music history!


Not My Circus Album Cover

NOT MY CIRCUS, NOT MY MONKEY

Released: 2021

This album contains ten new original songs, and one cover (done in the Hitman Blues Band style). Featuring captivating vocals, blistering solos, and a rhythm section pushing a consistently intense groove, it also boasts captivating lyrics ranging from light hearted to tragic.

The recording starts off with “Not My Circus, Not My Monkey”, a line you’ll probably be using regularly from now on. This is followed by the tongue in cheek “Buy That Man A Drink”, as it’s far from an act of charity. Then comes a complete re-working of Blind Willie Johnson’s “Nobody’s Fault But Mine”, including all new lyrics that stay true to the spirit of the original.

Keeping with Mr. Johnson, there is “John The Revelator” performed in a unique Hitman Blues Band style – and imagining that other gods stop by and reveal their own end-of-times scenarios to John. The heart wrenching ballad “No Place Like Home” offers somber reflection, and then comes a version of Dylan’s “The Times They Are A-Changin’” like you’ve never heard it before.

The groove infused “You Can’t Say No” is followed by the light hearted come-on of “Walk With You”, which sets up the attempt to explain overpowering love in “You Don’t Understand”. The album takes a turn back to the late 1950’s influenced “Everybody But Me”, a comic take on hipster loneliness.

The closing tune is the anthem for every artist who pushes on no matter what, “Go Down Fighting”.

“This is an exciting disc to hear!” – John Mitchell, Blues In Britain Magazine
