"What a tremendous voice Carrie has!"--ABC Radio (WJR), by host Frank Beckmenn
"Lady Sings the Blues. The best in classic rock was always that which was derived directly from the blues. Cream. Led Zeppelin. Black Sabbath. These bands knew where it was at and they went there. So it is with Jackie Blue." --JJ Koczan, The Aquarian newspaper, New York and New Jersey
"Aw yeah! I love this band. This girl is a Janis Joplinite without trying to be. She has a voluptuous voice. She's not even trying to be wan and fragile like Dido or Jem. She's rock and roll." --Rev. Billy Jesus, Chicago, Illinois. |

1) Detroit Queen [3:28] Put down your fancy things Does not effect what you bring Dump them down in that alleyway Soulful vision made you sing Rhythm comes can’t even sleep at night Something guiding young child’s flight Music’s needle slowly sinkin’ in Tried to block it off, time and time again
Chorus You made no sense to me Something grinding down inside Left the room in such a mess Tall black lady, short red dress
My Detroit Queen That girl so fine My Detroit Queen
So get on down in your dirty cradle Dig that baby can you handle? And slippin on you subtleties Up and down them highway streets All the reason I tried to find it Church bell came reminded All the reason that you had to Trouble came and went And then I came in you

2) Shame [4:51] Bow down, and let it fade And where am I going, anyway?
Get on the phone, and dial my baby Answers “hello?”, but she sounds quite jaded “Are you alone?”, then just a pause… “Are you alone?”, what’s that sound I here? Another man putting on his clothes It’s such a shame, child it’s such a shame Am I to blame? I just can’t understand It’s such a shame, child it’s such a shame Always the same, time and time again
Chorus I know, some day I’ll rise above these clouds But for now it seems that the rain drops keep fallin’ down They say, “be positive and you’ll be fine” I hope someday that the darkness turns to light
I go so hard, just to pay my bills Blue collar slave, truly test my will A workin’ man up at a quarter to five Twelve hours in and I’m still on the clock, must be something better to this life It’s such a shame, child it’s such a shame Always the same, time and time again It’s such a shame, child it’s such a shame Am I to blame? I just can’t understand
Chorus
It’s such a shame baby And just the way that you, turn things on me I just need to go and find, something better You see it’s such a shame, child it’s such a shame
Maybe on, like the next day I can go find myself a better way And then, rest peaceful in bed It’s such a shame, child it’s such a shame |
