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!
Lonely Traveller contains 10 of the best Rock/Blues songs you’ll hear all year. Also, look out for the bonus extended version.
lyrics
Watch the horses and wagons, roll into town
American dollar, gets handed round
Mother Mary at the junction, hunt’n for her fixer
Magical potions, tonic and elixir
Step up and wonder, only one dollar, just give it a go
The Medicine Show (medicine show)
Come to the Medicine Show (medicine show) (medicine show)
Try the Hostetter’s Bitters, for the aching pain
Dr Kilmer’s Swamp Root, keep away the rain.
You know you want the Snake Oil, time to make your way
There ain’t nothing better, Ol’ Reverend would say
I tell ya brothers and sisters, something you oughta to know
Gotta tell you bout a place where, you oughta go
Yeah they’re making magic potions, from the Indian chief
And if ya hocken for smoken, they got the right leaf
(Optional live verse)
So don’t you worry, doctors now in town
Gotta get that potion, before sundown
You can take from me yeah, one ten percent pure
Got all you’re needing, we got the fix and cure
The Medicine Show
