This kid is unreal. And comes outta the real delta tradition! He’s the real article of authenticity and blazing talent. The kind of phenom who’ll end up inspiring a whole new generation to want to play and keep alive real blues. What a gift!

Lyrics:
Thought I found the right woman
To ease my troubled mind
You said you would be there for me baby
Til the end of time
Thought I had a chance to start all over
Said you’d be there every step of the way
But all I ever get
All I ever get is empty promises baby

Empty promises
As time went on we stayed together
I knew you would never change (never change)
Said you wouldn’t break my heart like the others
And we would make it some day
Thought I had a chance to start all over
You said you would be there every step of the way
But all I ever get
All I ever get is empty promises baby
Empty promises baby
Empty promises baby
You know I love you
You know I want you
Gotta have you babe
Gotta have you babe
Gotta have you babe
Gotta have you babe
