If they came out to Bend Oregon and played in the streets at any number of the pubs there people would come to standstill. This group is truly fantastic! There are so many other places besides New Orleans where they would-be stars. They have been playing for years and just keep getting better, this style of music never gets old.
Many thanks, TheWsm. 'Frosty Morning Blues' was composed by Eddie Brown; and recorded in 1924 by Bessie Smith. As you can hear, it is basically a 12-bar blues in the key of A flat, but it also has a beautiful 16-bar Verse, which gives the song much of its special character. You can hear Erika sing the Verse (11 secs - 49 secs); and the Band plays it (1 min. 53 secs. - 2 mins 34 secs.) Note the very pleasant 12-bar Chorus in which Ewan and Barnabus trade twos (3 mins. 05 secs. - 3 mins. 36 secs.). 'Frosty Morning Blues' is also on Tuba Skinny's 'Garbage Man' album.
Lyrics for Frosty Morning Blues by Bessie Smith How come I'm blue as can be, how come I need sympathy I know what's troubling me, listen and you'll see Because the good man that I got, left me all alone Woke up this morning at four, when I heard him slamming my door Did you ever wake up on a frosty morning and discover your good man gone Did you ever wake up on a frosty morning and discover your good man gone If you did you'll understand, why I'm singing sad moanful songs Well, he didn't provide and he wasn't handsome, so he might not appeal to you Well, he didn't provide and he wasn't handsome, so he might not appeal to you But he gave me plenty loving and I never had to beg him too Now my damper is down and my fire ain't burning and a chill's all around my bed My damper is down and my fire ain't burning and a chill's all around my bed When you lose the man you love, then a gal is just as good as dead

It doesnt seem possible, but every one of these vids I watch is better than the one before.
LUV THIS GROUP AND THEIR MUSIC!!!!!!!!!
That Ewan Bleach is a Master !!
Amazed that folks can just walk by and ignore this band! I'd never get any shopping done if they performed on my local high street! If only!!
Agreed, so when I was on royal st three was ago with TS, had to yell at the crowd to stop and tip the band!
... maybe everyone walking by is looking for a restroom 'real quick ... 😄

Lyrics for Frosty Morning Blues by Bessie Smith
How come I'm blue as can be, how come I need sympathy
I know what's troubling me, listen and you'll see
Because the good man that I got, left me all alone
Woke up this morning at four, when I heard him slamming my door
Did you ever wake up on a frosty morning and discover your good man gone
Did you ever wake up on a frosty morning and discover your good man gone
If you did you'll understand, why I'm singing sad moanful songs
Well, he didn't provide and he wasn't handsome, so he might not appeal to you
Well, he didn't provide and he wasn't handsome, so he might not appeal to you
But he gave me plenty loving and I never had to beg him too
Now my damper
is down and my fire ain't burning and a chill's all around my bed
My damper is down and my fire ain't burning and a chill's all around my bed
When you lose the man you love, then a gal is just as good as dead
Ewan Bleach is a great clarinet player: Craig Flory is a phenomenal clarinet playet

Thanks!
Der er altså noget Billie Holiday over Erica, så smukt!!!
why doesn't Erika get rid of the shades?
Brian Fairey it’s New Orleans. Probably 100 degrees plus 100% humidity lol
Way to much traffic,disrupts the focus on Erica's great voice.But none the less as usual a must watch!
You need a mike if your want to make yourself heard.
