Inspired off the back of a story iconic Australian music publisher Phil Trip told about his travels in the U.S. It also features Dave Hole on Slide Guitar playing. Phil described a 24hr Bourbon bar just outside of New Orleans down a winding dirt road & built on the banks of the Mississippi. He said the bands they got down there were just incredible & although it was out of town, the place was always pumping. It’s full of foot stomping, chanting and great southern rock guitar riffs.
lyrics
Jackson
By: Kate Lush
Bar tender looks sideways at me
I don’t care what could be the worst thing?
Down by the river, beats beating,
Tanqueray numb swanning like a sinner
180 degrees I’m spinning
Sky on the river, world at my fingers
Money in his pocked, sweet nothings
Living on lovin’ (that something)
Chorus:
And Oh! I’m the only one that he sees, yeah
Time stand still while the world sleeps, yeah
It might be nothing or the start of something
I can’t get enough, Of Jackson
Woa oh oh h Woah oh ho ho
Woa oh oh h Woah oh ho ho
2 am sweet Summer sweat
I don’t know when I ever felt
So good, deeper than the river
Dive so deep, floating like a feather
Waving his keys in the air
Soaked to our skin but we don’t care
Change down the track, the cars packed
Sun ain’t ready, and I’m so ready to roll
Chorus:
And Oh! I’m the only one that he sees, yeah
Time stand still while the world sleeps, yeah
It might be nothing or the start of something
I can’t get enough, Of Jackson
Woa oh oh h Woah oh ho ho
Woa oh oh h Woah oh ho ho
Bridge:
20 to life now my time has come
I Rise to the top, and I feel the sun
The ones who get what they want …. Don’t give up
Chorus: x 2
And Oh! I’m the only one that he sees, yeah
Time stand still while the world sleeps, yeah
It might be nothing or the start of something
I can’t get enough, Of Jackson
Woa oh oh h Woah oh ho ho
Woa oh oh h Woah oh ho ho

THE PERFECT STORM! Kate has teamed up with legendary guitarist Steve Edmonds for a colossal celebration of Southern Rock,
fired up Blues, some Tedeschi/Trucks infused soulfulness with a twist of New Orleans. Their combined force brings together the blazing energy from both of their unique bands and the result is incredibly gritty, soulful & straight from the heart.
