Buzzy Carlyle - My Mojo Don't Mojo No Mo'

Buzzy Carlyle

 We at Big and Tall Records pride ourselves in the diversity in the music we offer. There's no better example of this than Buzzy Carlyle's 'My Mojo Don't Mojo No Mo'.  Buzzy is rather enigmatic over his origins and influences, but he's lived long enough to be influenced by the greats of the delta blues tradition. His music speaks like the veteran blues man he is. Dark lyrics set to a plaintive blues guitar, he sings about the trials of growing old. It is a song full of bluesy melancholy, that could have been improvised on the spot, or been played before and it's still in his head. His guitar looks like it's been through a war. He is lean, with white hair on his face and head, and his music speaks from the bottom of his soul. It's remarkable he still has a lot of his chops at and his voice is a throwback to the blues men that played in juke joints and gin mills of the past. We hope we can coax him back into the studio. He was very reluctant the first time. But we want to hear more of this man's soul! 

Many years ago oh back then was different you see. 

Had pretty wimmens two,or sometimes three. 

Now it has changed in so damn many ways oh, 

I'll tell ya now my mojo don't mojo no mo. 

 

Used to be king now I'm just a ghost in my own life, 

Love was a river, now it's just a trickle of strife, 

Chasing shadows, chasing dreams no place to go, 

I'll tell ya now my mojo don't mojo no mo. 

 

Eyes that sparkled turned dull over time, 

Always kept my grief to myself all in line. 

Life was a carnival now it feels so low,

 I'll tell ya now my mojo don't mojo no mo. 

 

 Looking for answers in a bottle's hollow glass, 

Don't do nothin' but just sit on my ass. 

Caught in this current with no place to row, 

I'll tell ya now my mojo don't mojo no mo.

 

 I'll tell ya now my mojo don't mojo no mo 

No mo, no mo, my mojo don't mojo no mo.
