Misha's Lyric - 'Love the title/concept, great story. Warm, swinging melody. Sounds like one of those songs that becomes a classic.'

Analog Garage- mining that classic sound with anachronistic recording equiptment; our special way of saying fuck you to all you pro tooled, synthetic rockers.
Work in progress... Just some more aging guitar hacks learning how to master the recording process and looking for feedback as we climb out of the ooze. We are here out of love for the creative process and hoping to create a few sublime moments of shambolic synergy......

Lyrics
Mercedes Cadillac Im fifteen years old and I Quit going to school last week Something I saw turned me Full grown man overnight First the window rattled and The floorboards started to creak I looked outside and saw her Stepping out into the light Took me less than one hot minute To commit my first mortal sin I shook myself so hard and fast I thought I had a heart attack And to think this wasted life of Throwing dice and drinking gin Began the first time I laid eyes on Mercedes Cadillac She's long and lean Sleek and black Theres never been a woman Like Mercedes Cadillac Pa told me if I think about her too much I might end up going blind Ma said forget about her That girl just aint our kind Elanor the girl next door told me Not to come around no more My priest says only an exorcist Can save me from Satans whore She's built for speed With a touch of class God must of broke the mold The day he made Mercedes Cadillac (BREAK) Ive been waiting On the curb all week Hoping that she'll come back I think I lost my heart to Mercedes Cadillac I got my old suitcase down And Im starting to pack Been a month gone by since The night I saw her drive away Ill hit each town on the highway And search in every nook and crack I guess Ill keep on searching Even if it takes until my dying day Mister someday Im gonna find her Then Im gonna bring her back On that day Ill make An honest woman of Mercedes Cadillac

Hoo what an energetic song. I really love the rough sound character. I can feel your engagement and your deep musicality. Compliments!! Hooker Green

Pretty fine tune here, clever lyrics & a house rockin' vibe--reminds me a bit of Steve Earle. Excellent vox!

Yeah, classic indeed! I see that Ken has been here, cool, he started our fun little internet project "The Tools". Oodles of commercial potential with this gem, just a great rock tune and very well delivered, dynamite stuff!
