The Widow Makers - Baby, Gonna Rock Ya

Classical stringed instruments have been crossing over into other genres from classical for a long time.

  The Beatles in the 1960's used them, just one example of bands before and since that have. We're no rock music historians, but this just may be the first time that band members themselves played the stringed instruments of a string quartet, 2 violins, viola, and cello, on a recording. The other examples we can think of usually used outside musicians. 

The core players of The Widow Makers, 4 young men that went to music school together, are the ones that play on the recording. They did have to have a few other musicians fill in for the group. These 4 musicians have been playing classical string quartet music together since music school, so it's a natural thing for them to incorporate it into their rock music. Their latest song Baby Gonna Rock Ya is not what you can call innovative or original, but the music is the thing in this song. The words are kind of just along for the ride, in our opinion.

Yeah baby all the mornin' long!
Carry it over to afternoon
End up the whole damn daylong!
Until ya roll over and swoon!

Yeah baby, gonna rock ya!
Like you never been rocked before
Never ending rockin' and roll
Until yer really damn good and sore!

Gonna do it all brash and loud!
Non-stop with lotta soul and sound
Gonna play it hard and make ya proud
The roarin' music will abound!

Yeah baby, gonna rock ya!
Like you never been rocked before
Never ending rockin' and roll
Rock ya til' yer damn good and sore!

All mornin' long! Gonna rock ya!
In the afternoon! Gonna rock ya!
All damn daylong! Gonna rock ya!
Make ya swoon! Gonna rock ya,!

Ya know baby, gonna rock ya!
Like you never ever been before
Long lastin’ rockin' and rollin’
Til yer really damn good and sore!
