Don't Know What It Is on Soundcloud
Don't Know What It Is on YouTube Another drinking song. This one is about the man in the mirror whom the man doesn't recognize. Again, not autobiographical so don't feel bad for me –at least not for this, Hans had a similar theme, and so did MJ, but his was more directed to everyone else. File:Don't Know What It Is.SGU Key=G , Tempo 85, Length (m:s)=3:03 Style is _BASIN.STY (Basin Reso Delta Blues w Shaker) RealTracks in style: ~577:Guitar, Resophonic, Rhythm Blues Crossroads Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 2677:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm BluesStraightBrent Ev 085 RealTracks in song: 2039:Guitar, Resonator, Soloist CountryRob Ev 085 (Bluesy) RealTracks in song: 574:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Blues BB Ev 085 ('A' only) RealDrums in Song: NashvilleEven16^5-HiHat,Ride RealTracks in song: 574:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Blues BB Ev 085 ('A' only) RealDrums in style:ShakerEven8ths: a: Shaker b: ShakerEven8ths I played bass and sang. Don't Know What It IsDon't know what it is, but there's somethin' in the water. It's got a shinny head. It's sticking out it's tongue every once in a while, but now I think it's dead. I pack my fish and go. M'moonshine's gettting low. Mosey on home to bed. Don't know what it is, but there's somethin' in the kitchen. It's swimming in the sink. I think it stole my hooch that was hidden in the closet, and has that swampy stink. I jump back in my car, and head back to the bar for sumpin' strong to drink. The barmaid smiles and asks if I am okay. I tell her I'm just fine. I know there's somethin' strange goin' on in my head. I may have lost my mind. I don't know what it is, but there's somethin' in the mirror that seems to know my biz. It's staring back at me with its bloodshot eyes, and mine must look like his. It moves when I move. But what does it prove? Don't know what it is. INTRO-- D7 C7 G7-Em7 Am7-D7 V-- G G B7 B7 C7 C7 G G D7 D7 G7-Em7 Am7-D7 BR-- C7 C7 F F D7 D7 G-Ab G-D7

A really relaxed, expressive and mellow vocal that stretches out and curls up across a really good chord progression or three.
Nice band, really nice bass and a fun story. 7s def give a vibe.
Cheers

Hi Marty.
Whatever it is it doesn't sound like something you want to meet on a dark night.
It must have been an experience though, by the sound of it.

Nice one. I love that dobro.

Ok, I'm not feeling sorry for you, Marty. But you sang it so convincingly.  Excellent style choice that works so well with the melody and lyrics.

Bob Thank you, Bob Dean. Since David Snyder's song I'm gonna start calling you that, and maybe sometimes add "the songwriting machine." Hi Marty.

Vic HaHA. Not to worry; it's just the shadow of a broken life. You're right, something to avoid.

Marty...another very clever write and a super track to go with it...I love the solo you constructed for this one with BiaB...that resonator resonates with me!

Marty,
Smooth tune. A+ arrangement, that resophonic guitar sounds perfect on this. Ace vocals and bass playing! I wish I can come up with musical ideas as often as you do and still maintain quality. Spooky video. Thank you for sharing.

Sounds good - especially the dobro. I guess I won't have one of what he's having.

Marty,
Dobro is awesome and I love the chord changes you use. This ain't 1-4-5.
Love a good drinking song too! Great job.

fj Thanks, Floyd! Hey, I'm ecstatic that you have a Favorite Marties file --well, even that you said you do. Ok, I'm not feeling sorry for you, Marty. But you sang it so convincingly. Excellent style choice that works so well with the melody and lyrics. Thanks, Scott. I think I'm a much better actor than singer.

Marty, I really liked this one. Super vocal, bass, and mix as usual. The video was great. PS - you are getting close to my life style

National, dobro, resonator --by any other name it would sound as sweet. Good song, Marty, great job on the video too! Thanks, Dave. Even though you weren't in this one, you deserve a lot of credit. And, of course, I'll take all the blame. Marty,

Misha. Thank you, Misha. Ha! Like you have any trouble coming up with ideas. I'm still reeling from how deep you got in the Mariana Trench Blues. Sounds good - especially the dobro. I guess I won't have one of what he's having. Thanks, David. Good call on the abstinence.

I know what it is, Marty!
It's Blues treated with a powerful liquid medicine!
But some prefer never to heal....
Top notch song!

PS - you are getting close to my life style Thanks, Mario. I often think of you when I write because, yes, I want to get more to your style. I know what it is, Marty!

Well, that’s good and slinky! The dobro oozes mystery and your bass is silky smooth.
Your vocals sound great and we too love those seventh chords for that dark feel.
The video has that “Stranger Things” scary vibe!
Quite enjoyable! You're on a roll.
