Story Behind The Song
Originally written by Alphonsus Cassel. JJ Cale performed the whole song painstakingly by himself, as at the time he couldn't afford a drummer to play, and ended using electronic drums. even in final mix/albums. i Extended the song by another verse by way of repeat, as i wanted to make the song a bit longer as the original was quite short. Hope you like :)
Song Description
a Song i loved and wanted to add my own twist, i stayed in form with tempo and structure, but used more digital to create an unusual sound of song. My Father kept as best he could with his interpretation of the original guitar, and with his vocal also we ended up with this quirky version. Eventually id like to re-record with a bit more bite. Specially after learning more over the years.

Lyrics
Crazy mama, where you been so long?
Crazy mama, where you been so long?
You've been hiding out, I know that's true
Crazy mama, I sure need you
Crazy mama, where you been so long?
Standing on the corner, looking for you, babe
Standing on the corner, looking for you, babe
Lord have mercy, i can not see
That crazy mama coming back to me?
Crazy mama, where you been so long?
