Album: As Blue As I Can Be With Dr. Project Point Blank Blues Band -
Lyrics:
I’ve been drinking again
cos those Blues
keep following me
Repeat
Yes I’ve been looking
at my future
A bottle of whiskey’s there
I’ve been drinking whiskey
& sometimes
I take it with coke
Repeat
You know what
I’m talking about
If I can’t break this habit
You know I’ll never
do right again
You know I call
Called my Baby & begged
Baby Baby please Baby
Baby please
come back home child
Repeat
She said
You’ve been drinking
too much whiskey
& I won’t be
your friend no more
Get outta here boy
Don’t come around my door
I’ve been drinking again
cos those Blues
keep on following me
Repeat
Can’t break this habit
If you know the good Lord
won’t help me
Then maybe just maybe
one more Jack Daniels will
Thanks to Lona Popoki for the lyrics
John O’Leary is one of the early exponents of the blues harmonica in the UK. Originally from Ireland, John’s family was part of the mass migration to England in the aftermath of World War 2. In London’s thriving jazz clubs of the 1960’s, he first heard blues harp legend Cyril Davies with Alexis Korner’s Blues Incorporated. John bought his first harp in 1962 and initially learned by watching Davies. Inevitably, he discovered the great masters of the instrument John Lee Williamson, Little Walter, Noah Lewis, Big Walter Horton, James Cotton, Sonny Terry and Junior Wells whose influences are still readily discernible in his playing.
John’s career has seen his involvement with a wide range bands and musicians over five decades. Beginning in 1965 as a founder member of Savoy Brown’s Blues Band through to the present day John O’Leary & Sugarkane, he has continued to maintain a prominent position on the European blues scene.
Over the years John has performed with noted bands and musicians such as Donovan, Noel Redding, Eric Bell, Kim Simmonds, Champion Jack Dupree, Alexis Korner, Roger Chapman, Dave Walker, Tony McPhee, Dave Kelly, Dick Heckstall-Smith, Aynsley Dunbar, Keef “Half Breed“ Hartley, Victor Brox, The John Dummer Blues Band & Mainsqueeze. Today, as well as leading his own band Sugarkane, he is concurrently a member of the legendary rockers The Downliners Sect and co-leader of the John O’Leary-Alan Glen All Star Blues Review; which for the past 10 years has hosted annual tributes to Muddy Waters, Junior Wells and Cyril Davies.
In 2011 and 2013 John was voted No 2 in the harmonica category by BLUES MATTERS magazine’s contributors and writers.
