Another Lover by Reggie Miles © 2012 All rights reserved You used to love me, yesterday. Now you left me, you've went away. I've been searchin', the lonely night through. Lookin' for another lover like you. Another lover, Someone who won't leave me 'lone and blue, Another lover, Who can love me like you used to do. When we met, I lost control. You hypnotized me, you stole my soul. You chewed me up, and now you're spittin' me out. I was a fool, and there's no doubt. I need a lover, Someone who won't leave me 'lone and blue, Another lover, Who can love me like you used to do. Love's a gamble, every day. Get what you give, that's what they say. You want to leave me. You don't have to linger. Gave you my ring, you just gave me the finger. I need a lover, Someone who won't leave me 'lone and blue, Another lover, Who can love me like you used to do.

It’s The Slide Of Your Size Reggie Miles © 2012 All rights reserved It’s not the size of your slide it’s the slide of your size Ain’t no need to get jealous of the other guy’s Boys you better get hip to this tip to the wise It’s not the size of your slide. It’s the slide of your size. A long time ago it used to be slick To walk real soft and carry a big stick But I’m here to remind all you big stick guys It’s not the size of your slide. It’s the slide of your size. All you misters have heard sisters testify It ain’t the meat it’s the motion that satisfies I’d like to confirm that notion and dispel the lies It’s not the size of your slide. It’s the slide of your size. All you hicks diggin’ me pick my licks The way that I slip and glide If you want all the girls to roll their eyes It’s not the size of your slide. It’s the slide of your size. All you boys, makin’ all that noise I hope you now realize Don’t apologize for your merchandise It’s not the size of your slide. It’s the slide of your size. If you listen to the words of this simple song You know it don’t matter if your length ain’t long I may be wrong, but I surmise It’s not the size of your slide. It’s the slide of your size.

That Stuff You Got by Reggie Miles © 2012 All rights reserved Hey Mama, with your red dress on You're makin’ me beg like a dog for a bone And when you toss your hair and swing your hips You make me wish I was a kissin’ your ruby red lips With, that stuff you got That stuff you got Makes me act like a fool And I’m startin’ to drool For that stuff you got That stuff you got Oh mama, when you walk that way Makes me twist my neck till I just gotta say You know how to make me feel so damn right Please tell me that you’re gonna stay all night With that stuff you got That stuff you got You look so sweet Walkin’ down the street With that stuff you got That stuff you got Oh mama mama you're so fine Make the boys go crazy standin’ in line For just one chance to see you smile Please tell that you're gonna stay for a while With that stuff you got That stuff you got There ain’t nothin’ lackin’ And I love what you’re packin’ That stuff you got That stuff you got

Just Another Passerby by Reggie Miles © 2012 All rights reserved Used to see you On the street We would meet And share moments so sweet Now you’re not there Do you still care? Or are you just another passerby? We used to play Give love away Every day And say we’d never stray It’s been so long Since you’ve been gone Are you just another passerby? Love’s always strolling by us Wanderin’ who knows where Love seldom seems to find us Treasure your love affairs I was naive To believe You’d never leave And now I'm grievin’ I’m so damn blue Because of you You’re just another passerby Love’s always strolling by us Wanderin’ who knows where Love seldom seems to find us Treasure your love affairs I was naive To believe You’d never leave And now I'm grievin’ I’m so damn blue Because of you You’re just another passerby

Makin’ Bacon by Reggie Miles © 2012 All rights reserved I used to play on the street for nickels and dimes Hangin’ with ma homies and havin’ good times Then a fine lookin’ lady took me by my hand She said, come on Reggie, woncha be my man She said I gotta cure for your blues and I ain’t fakin’ I wanna take you home and fry your bacon She loves makin’ bacon She loves makin’ bacon She’ll do everything she can To make you feel like a man She said, come on over here honey Slide your bacon in my pan She said I’ve had them other boy’s sweet jelly rolls They’d squeeze me and then leave me, blue and all alone Then she cried, I need a man, cuz I’ve been achin’ And yearnin’ for a big ol’ salty slab of bacon She’s avoidin’ sweets but she sure loves meat She fries it nice ‘n’ crispy before she eats She loves makin’ bacon She loves makin’ bacon She’ll do everything she can To make you feel like a man She said, come on over here honey Slide your bacon in my pan Got to her door round half past two She was livin’ in a high top split level shoe She had so many kids to my surprise Cuz she’d been makin’ bacon with all them other guys She said come right in, don’t make me beg I wanna fry your bacon with a couple o’ my eggs She loves makin’ bacon Yes, she loves makin’ bacon She’ll do everything she can To make you feel like a man She said come on over here honey Slide your bacon in my pan Maybe baby you may be sweet and oh so fine You might want me to be yours so you can be mine You may be lookin’ hot ‘n’ sassy with them big fine legs But I don’t think I want my bacon mixed up with your eggs I love good cookin’ but I ain’t lookin’, for no breakfast in bed So, I guess, I’ll be bookin’ She loves makin’ bacon She loves makin’ bacon She’ll do everything she can To make you feel like a man Come on over here honey Slide your bacon in my pan

Hands Full Of Blues by Reggie Miles © 2012 All rights reserved Got a heart full of heartache, since you said goodbye Got a life full of troubles, and a worriful mind I got a pocket full of dreams, and my eyes full of tears I've had my hands full of blues for years Got ears full of lies, mirrors full of looks Got a a voice full of song, a song ful of hooks Got stories full of rumors, thoughts full of rhymes ‘Bout scratchin’ for a hat full of nickels and dimes Nights full of tossin’ and turnin’ in bed Dreams full of nightmares, days full of dread Got a mind full of mis’ry, my head full of fears I've had my hands full of blues for years Got a past full of memories I’d like to forget I've got a future full of mistakes I ain’t made yet Got a road full of hazard, a path full of turns I've got a foot full of lead and a tank full to burn Got a motor full of muscle, my tranny's full of gears I've had my hands full of blues for years Got a pipe full of crack, a bowl full of weed Got a vein full of smack, a spoon full of speed A bag full of pills, a needle full of meth I've got a clip full of bullets, and a barrel full of death I got a belly full of whiskey to ease the pain Got a nose full of cocaine drivin’ me insane Got a bottle full of courage, my fridge full of beers I've had my hands full of blues for years I've got a court full of judges, a jury full of peers I've had my hands full of blues for years I got lips full of guilt, questions full of whys I got a sigh full of sorrow, and a tongue full of sighs I got a soul full of thirst, as last call draws near I've had my hands full of blues for years

about

This recording was captured live to digital media on 1/21/11 in the Parlor of the Conway Muse. Any miscellaneous and extraneous sounds heard in the background, like the parrot, were present during the recording of this performance and could not be edited out.

This special six song version of "REGGIE MILES - BOTTLENECK BLUES" recording is being made available for sale on BandCamp, containing all original Reggie Miles bottleneck slide Blues.

credits

released January 1, 2012

All songs were written, composed and performed by Reggie Miles, recorded by Thomas Richardson, mastered by Phil Erb and edited at The Blue Tarp Ranch.

Guitars used in this performance, include two self-built 'Nobro' resophonic (mechanically amplified) guitars created from recycled junk found at various garage sales and/or swap meets. Reggie's bottleneck slide guitar of choice is his 'Nobro' that he built over 19 years ago. The other 'Nobro', used in this recording is his 'Nobro Convertible' model, built just a few years ago. Also used in this recording is a 1967 Martin D12-20 (set up six string fashion) and a 1930s Kalamazoo flattop.

The open tunings used are either an open "E" or "E minor" form, modified to alternate keys.

Reggie's bottleneck slide of choice is a rather sizable frictionless marine propeller shaft bearing or cutless bearing, another garage sale find. At more than twice the size of the average slide, a lot of folks stare.
