Tim Ratcliff & Ken Bailey - A Rough Couple Of Days

Imagine a blues bar on the corner where you can go in for a pint now and again, and there is always a band welcome. This time the band is wearing sunglasses, acting cool, despite the pain in the words pouring thickly into the cold glass waiting for a nice dark amber liquid Newcastle dream. They dare to add a few jazz chords to their blues. “Well, the clock ran down, made me late for work again.” The lead guitarist knows how to add a bit of soul to the blue jazz so the flavors keep filling the air while the gentle melody meanders around the vibes, looking for answers as the bass player keeps everything together. “Well the TV is down ‘cause the cable is out, but the water keeps dripping straight from the spout.” Nice job. This is a preview cut from an album in progress that should be appearing in Spring, 2008. In the meantime, keep an eye on Myspace and check out the previous album from Tim & Ken.
