WRITTEN BY DAVE LOGGINS. LYRICS: Long haired Harlot, She come adancin' Eyes on her chances I know her kind Ribbons of scarlet I've seen 'em untanglin' And wrappin around A poor boy's mind Sunset Woman Nobody needs you You're a worthless woman An agin' overnight friend Sunset Woman Nobody needs to Be drowned In a wishin' well of sin ~Instrmental~ Rock 'n' Roll tavern She's just like a fixture there Looking to pull a stare From the 5 o'clock crowd Findin' no takers For yesterdays papers She leaves, And takes the back door out Sunset Woman Nobody needs you. You're a worthless woman. An agin' overnight friend. Sunset Woman Nobody needs to Be drowned In your wishin' well of sin ~Instrumental~ Ah, but Lord, those mistress eyes Destiny she's leavin' Her youth was burned The heads she once turned- they're gone Lord give her my smile And a coat to sew her savin' And see for me to find a way back home Sunset Woman nobody needs you You're a worthless woman- an agin' overnight friend Sunset Woman nobody needs to Be drowned in a wishin' well of sin Oh,be drowned in a wishin' well of sin Nobody wants to be drowned in a wishin' well of sin. + Informações

Biography "Best remembered for his 1973 smash "My Maria," singer/songwriter BW Stevenson (the "BW" reportedly stood for "Buckwheat" ? his real first name was Lewis) was born October 5, 1949, in Dallas, TX. As a teen he played in a variety of local rock bands before attending college, eventually joining the US Air Force; upon returning from duty Stevenson settled in the Austin area, where he became a frequent attraction on the city's thriving club circuit. Upon signing to RCA he was marketed primarily to country listeners, enjoying little success with either his 1972 self-titled debut or its follow-up, Lead Free; the title track of 1973's My Maria, however, became a Top Ten pop favorite, although ironically it missed the country charts altogether. Stevenson never again recaptured the single's success, and after 1974's Calabasas he landed at Warner Bros. to issue We Be Sailin' a year later. "Down to the Station," from 1977's Lost Feeling, was his last chart hit, and after 1980's Lifeline his recording career was over. Sadly, Stevenson died on April 28, 1988, shortly after undergoing heart surgery; he was just 38 years old." ( iTunes). + Informações

My Maria Don't you know I have come a long, long way I've been longin' to see ya When she's around she take my blues away Sweet Maria The sunlight surely hurts my eyes I'm a lonely dreamer Lonely highway in the skies Mar-ia Mar-ia, I love you My Maria There were some blue and some low times Just my thoughts about you bring back My peace of mind Gypsy lady Your a miracle work for me You set my soul free Like a ship sailin' on the sea She is the sunlight When the skies are grey She treat me so right lady Take me away Mar-ia Mar-ia, I love you Mar-ia Mar-ia, I love you BW Stevenson (5 October 1949 - 28 April 1988) was an American country pop artist, working in a genre now called progressive country. "BW" stood for "Buckwheat." Stevenson is most famous for his song "My Maria", co-written with Daniel Moore. As recorded by Stevenson, "My Maria" became a smash hit, reaching #9 on Billboard's Hot 100 in 1973. The tune was covered much later by the country duo Brooks & Dunn, for whom it was a three-week #1 country hit in mid 1996. ------------------------------------------------------------ Discography: 1972: BW Stevenson 1972: Lead Free 1973: My Maria 1973: Pass This Way 1974: Calabasas 1975: We Be Sailin' 1977: Lost Feeling 1977: The Best of BW Stevenson 1980: Lifeline 1990: Rainbow Down the Road Collaborators: Larry Carlton: guitar; Layton DePenning: guitar; Jim Gordon: drums; Al DeBoe: drums; Donny Dolan: drums; Joe Osborn: bass; Rod Garrison: bass; Lorna Willard: backing .... + Informações

"Shambala" is a song written by Daniel Moore and made famous by Three Dog Night whose cover reached number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Three Dog Night The well-known cover of this song by the rock band Three Dog Night appeared in 1973 on the Hot 100, reaching #3 in both the pop singles and adult contemporary categories. The song appeared on Cyan, Three Dog Night's ninth album, and it subsequently appeared on numerous anthologies and compilation albums. Although the lyrics of "Shambala" draw on a theme from Eastern mysticism, Allmusic notes the "very strong gospel feeling" of the album Cyan is most evident on this song. This comment may be based on both the instrumentation, including the characteristic gospel keyboard organ sounds that accompany the chorus, and the bluesy vocals of Cory Wells. Allmusic calls this hit single "one of the group's finest later period records." BW Stevenson Two versions of this song were released almost simultaneously in 1973. One week before Three Dog Night's version appeared on the charts, another cover recorded by Texan singer-songwriter BW Stevenson had also reached the charts, peaking at #66 on the Hot 100 during its eight-week run. This lesser-known version is often regarded as country pop or country rock and appears on collections of such. The twang of Stevenson's steel-string acoustic guitar, his Southern accent and an American folk music sound all distinguish it from the better-known version soon to follow. In South Africa, Stevenson's .... + Informações

The title says demo because this song is hardly finished. It's the product of a couple hours of recording/mixing to see how everything sounded together. I was amazed by how great the chorus sounds...it gives me goosebumps lol. A lot of work needs to be done with it, mainly finishing the last half. I'll probably redo the main vocals since they don't sound too great, and the guitar sounds a little disjointed and rushed. I'll probably just sit down with a metronome for that. I plan on adding a lot more cello, and getting a better take than what I've got (I HAVE only been playing for a few months with barely any practice). I might possibly raise it up a step or two depending on whether I can sing the low notes good or not, but that would mean I would probably have to record the harmony that I like so well :/ Well, hope you enjoy! Check back in a couple weeks (hopefully) to hear the finished song.. + Informações
