The best blues rock bands are those who can take you to a place where the blues are a way of life. A place where the Delta flows and Swamp rat grows. A place where you can’t help but tap your feet and when that “feeling takes hold” your body just moves with it. From Mississippi style guitar pick’n original Delta and Swamp blues, to all out Southern Rock Blues. The Wisemans Circus is your blues experience!

lyrics
Troubles haunting me,
kick and clawing me
Got a choice to make today.
Trip me up it’s easy,
take my head and squeeze me
Take the sun and make it grey.
Law is always chasing,
seems that I’m misplacing
What’s this feeling, in my head.
Got no settle in me,
just the hope that I’ll be
Pulling off the road ahead.
Got no chance of running,
he can see you coming
Cause it’s the devil or the gun
devil or the gun
Gotta fight for something,
or it’s all for nothing
It’s the devil or the gun
Cops and Robbers story,
life in all its glory
Don’t believe it, there’s no fun.
At the cross road ready,
it ain’t gonna be pretty
Cause it’s the devil or the gun
Got no chance of running,
he can see you coming
Cause it’s the devil or the gun
devil or the gun
Gotta fight for something,
or it’s all for nothing
It’s the devil or the gun
Got no chance of running,
he can see you coming
Cause it’s the devil or the gun
devil or the gun
Gotta fight for something,
or it’s all for nothing
It’s the devil or the gun
