Jerry Spivey Back on the Gin Again Lyrics

The Dejection encompasses a variety of social and moral bug, from bad love to poverty, from state of war to loneliness. The genre is pure in its message of humanity's ills. Of course, another major theme is drug addiction.

While it might seem this post is advocating the apply of drugs, most of the songs below discuss the down side of drugs, such equally death, social depravity, murder, bankruptcy, sickness, and loss of loved ones. They explain its hazards with harsh imagery and sometimes dark humor.

The origins of this topic in blues stenches style back to the early days of the 20th century, and peaked in the Jazz Age of the roaring 20's. It is still existence heavily portrayed in a lot of rock songs, a sub-genre of the blues.

I've listed beneath 10 songs that are drug related, varying across the decades:

ten. Champagne & Reefer – Muddy Waters (1981)

Well you know at that place should exist no law

Well you know it'southward skilful for your caput
And it relax your body don't you know.

9. Dope Head Blues – Victoria Spivey (1927)

Most author:Good blues to ya! My name is Ali Sleeq, a self-proclaimed messenger of the dejection, and musician. Those who know me well understand how obsessed I am with the genre, e'er since I was a loftier schooler. I also have headed several blues bands in Lebanon and State of kuwait, and regularly web log  and tweet well-nigh the blues.
