Chauffeur





         

Mick writes:

Memphis Minnie, (Lizzie Douglas) put out a great cut called 'Me and My Chauffeur Blues' back in 1941. Always a favourite of mine. So here's my re-write of the song from the Chauffeur's angle.

Not meant to be any great statement about the blues, just a nice little track that gives me a chance to play some acoustic lead guitar.

All good - I hope you enjoy it.

Chauffeur released 22nd November 2024
Recorded by Mick Clarke at Rockfold Studio, Surrey, England 2024.
