Mick Clarke
Ramdango

" Unapologetic lesson in rock history makes the best contender for the blues album of 2013" (Let It Rock)

Mick writes: This album was recorded by myself alone in my home studio, deep in the English countryside. No wildlife was harmed in the making of this record. Also no drum programming or pre-recorded sounds were used, other than the odd bass drum beat or cymbal crash. I played guitar, bass, drums, percussion, keyboards, engineered and produced and wrote the songs. In other words it's my fault.

When it was released in 2013 it got great reviews and airplay, (phew!) including regular play on XM Satellite Radio in the US. The track "Who's Educating Who?" proved particularly popular. The album is also released in India through Artist Aloud.

Following my previous album "The Rambunctious Blues Experiment" the title track was inspired by the idea of a Rambunctious Fandango - turns out that if you're Scottish it also a means a big party - loads of people, music, booze and that - sounds good to me. Listen to the whole album here .. Hope you enjoy!

Lyrics

Helping Hand

Oh baby! Need your helping hand
Yeah baby! Need your helping hand
And when you need my help - well I'm your lovin' man

Well I don't need your money or your good advice
Well I don't need your cooking I got beans and rice
But baby - Need your helping hand
And when you need my help - well I'm your lovin' man

Yeah baby! Need your helping hand
Well baby! Need your helping hand
And when you need my help - well I'm your lovin' man


Mojo Go

Hold it there don't lose it - Careful now don't bruise it
Carefully, Respectfully, Where did my Mojo Go?
Don't tell me I don't need it's the only blood I bleed it's just the only thing I need right now where did my Mojo Go?

Well I tried I could not hide it
Ignored the truth and lied it wasn't that I didn't want the world to hear the story I unfurled
Hold it there don't lose it - Don't need no drugs or booze it's just the truth and only that I need to know
Where did my Mojo Go?

I'm looking to rename it - but first of all reclaim it must be somewhere in the lost and found of Mojo secrets in the ground
C'mon now don't lose it - Don't need no drugs or booze it's just the truth and only that I need to know
Where did my Mojo Go?

Well I tried I could not hide it
Ignored the truth and lied it wasn't that I didn't want the world to hear the story I unfurled
Hold it there don't lose it - Don't need no drugs or booze it's just the truth and only that I need to know
Where did my Mojo Go?

Hold it there don't lose it - Careful now don't bruise it
Tell me now I need to know
Where did my Mojo Go?

Who's Educating Who?

I see you looking worried - so I cross the street to you
You worried 'bout the taxes - and the governmental dues
Well I'd like to talk about it - and listen to your views

But tell me..
Who.. Who's Educating Who?
Who.. Who's Educating Who?
Now are you showing me the right way - Or am I showing it to you?
Who.. Who's Educating Who?
Who.. Who's Educating Who?
Well there's one way for me brother - and another way for you..
I tell you true..

And another way for you..
I tell you true..
Who's fooling who?

15 Ton

Down there in the road I found it
Police put a cordon round it
Don't know where the damned thing came from
Damned thing ain't got no name on
I think it's probably..
About 15 ton..

Don't know where to return it
Nobody I knew was on it
Just happened to chance upon it
No singing or dancing on it
Damned thing could be brand new
No signs of tape or glue
I reckon it could be
About 15 ton..

Down there in the road I found it
Police put a cordon round it
Don't know where the damned thing came from
Damned thing ain't got no name on
I think it's probably..
About 15 ton..
