    From out of the wild blue yonder comes Blue Velvo, unloading a gunslinger's round of guitar in the opening tune called Six String Stinger Velvo's fingers shoot some fret-board metal at all comers, with great lyrics,this cautionary tale of a legendary player who goes from top to bottom leads us all into the mysterious world of Blue Velvo. Blending traditional rock and roll rhythms with a convincing retro sound Blue Velvo takes you on a stroll along the golden age of rock and roll, Velvo tips his hat to Jerry Lee with Blue Mamma, Ronnie Dawson on Farmer Delight, and even a pinch of Elvis on Blue Eyes Bawlin. There is also an interesting collision of surf guitar with the flair of the western thematic soundtrack style where Ennio Morricone meets Dick Dale on the songs The Legend of Johnny and Blue Tumbleweed.

Ending the CD with a mysterious exploration of things that are best kept to oneself but always seem to manage a way onto tabloid news we find a curios insight into the mind with Taboo.

Six String Stinger 05:11
lyrics
buy track
Well I used to be a hotshot in my hometown I was a real dead ringer—they would line them up I’d knock them down I would put them right in there place-wipe that smile right off their face With my six string stinger.. I would blow them right off the stage When word got around I had a crowd in every bar I would challenge all comers. All you have to do was bring your guitar You play your licks then I’ll play mine I’ll put my reputation on the line That when our battle is through The loser would be you Got my stinger working all the time Six Strings – That’s Stings... Everyone around Six Strings… No one can knock me down Well it happened so fast, as soon as I signed that line They had me traveling around-- a fortune I was bound to find People came from miles around .Just to watch me lay it down With my six string stinger.. Best guitar player I was crowned Six Stings—That Stings-- Voted best around Six Strings – No one can knock me down Another legend was born and with it came all that fame It really revved me up when everybody knew my name Back when time was on my side.. Girls around every night One by one they would want to get stung I had my stinger working over time Six Strings ..That Stings.. every Gal in sight Six strings. ..I sell out every night Well it’s the same old story When you’re seeking glory. they say You’ll have your day in the sun.. But eventually you’ll fade away And you’ll be paying for the price of fame The day you bow your head in shame And when your ego gets bruised You have paided all your dues But your stinger just aint the same Six Strings That Stings I’m not what used to be Six Strings …No one remembers me Six string..That Stings..Thats the price of fame Six strings..now no one knows my name

I sure had some bad luck with you Invested all I could do But your stealing I wouldn’t allow That’s why your history now I could have saved all that money and dough Should have quit you a long ago I held on to you some how To me your history now I’ll get along without you I’ll find another that will be true Just want someone to make me smile Your history to me now Ancient history No longer a dynasty This is my prophecy Your ancient history Ancient history You with me As far as I could see We’re ancient history So take your shit and get out of town I’ll no longer be your funny clown Your stories getting old Now history’s been told I’ll find another someone new Anything’s better then you You made your bed so sleep in it for a while Your history to me now Ancient history No longer a dynasty This is my prophecy Your ancient history Ancient history You with me As far as I could see We’re ancient history The whole western world agrees When you’re asked to go you should leave I’ll be waiving to you goodbye Our history just died

Well I Know you miss me baby and you’re waiting for me I miss your hugs and kisses ….oh I’m sad as can be But when I get home… I’m hoping to see Those Blue Eyes bawling Each night calling.. Calling for me…Those tears are all that I need I want to see those Blue Eyes bawling With Eyes swollen Then I’ll see.. That you have fallen for me I’d rather be with you instead of traveling alone I hear you breaking down when we talk on the phone I’m longing for you.. you’re there all alone With your Blue Eyes Bawling Each night calling Calling for me Those tears are all that I need When I hear those Blue Eyes bawling All night she’s calling It must be…. that she has fallen for me Your blue eyes around me It fills my heart -Always thinking of me Whenever we’re apart When those baby blues surround me Hold me in your arms….and I’m with you My Baby Blue

Hey Ms Treater… Give me back the heart that you stole, You cheater, I regret the day I said hello To greet her, Its time that I let go of my, mistreater And I tried to please her, She just laughed right in my face. Made me feel so out of place And like a fool I would embrace my mistreater Hey there baby, One day your looks will fade… then maybe you’ll regret the love that you betrayed, And you’ll come crawing back someday my Miss Treater You’re a cruel deceiver For you there is no shame, Always someone else to blame, And my love was all in vain…. mistreater Solo This time I’ll leave her, You know it’s long over do held on to a love that wasn’t true Now I’m no longer there for you Ms Treater mistreater mistreater

The Legend of Johnny 04:34
lyrics

Johnny spent the night in jail No one would post his bail Was arrested for armed robbery They beat him cause he tried to flee Witnesses swore they saw a gun They heard a shot and saw him run Now he’s charged with first degree Judge asked how do you plea Plea…. Wasn’t me…. Judge said Johnny don’t lie Everybody saw the man die When he reached to put his hands in the sky He was shot right between the eyes It would be best if you agree Before the jury funds you guilty Confess and beg for Mercy Or you’ll be swinging from a hanging tree Plea…… it Wasn’t me Johnny Johnny.. Only the truth will set you free It’s true he was there that night There was a brawl a terrible fight The shotgun fell from my hands Johnny picked it up and ran There was a Man hunt all over the town They finally tracked Johnny down Took him in for questioning He wouldn’t reveal a thing Plea..it wasn't me Johnny Johnny Only the truth will set you free They strung a noose around Johnny’s neck He was asked for any final requests He took it right down to his grave And never revealed my name Now I think of Johnny every night How could I let my best friend die If I confess,his soul will be released Then Johnny could rest in peace Plea.. It was me…. It was me Johnny Johnny The truth has set you free The truth has set you free

Well as long as you’re with her,She’ll hug you and kiss you She won’t give you the chance to… ever miss her No more riding around with your old crew She wants you home before the night fall or she gets Real Blue Well she keeps me in the house with lots of candy Fattens me up so I’ll get lazy She’s got me clicking my heels…… I’d like to bid her ado I start to tremble inside when I see the rage in her eyes then she gets Real Blue I got a real blue mama.. Cant get out of her sight Wants me around her morning noon and night Always making sure my watch is set just right Or you ….will see her get Real Blue Now she’s driving me crazy… always wants to argue I keep on closing doors but she storms on through I’m gonna tell her tonight..Its long overdo I tried speaking my mind for the very first time and she got Real blue I got a real blue mama….Won’t compromise Wants me around her morning noon and night Always making sure my watch is set just right Or you ….will see her get Real Blue Solo I got a real blue mama won’t socialize Won’t even let me take a walk outside If I should talk to my neighbor and say how do you do You know…… she’ll get Real Blue I guess this is the way I’ll live the rest of my days On the end of a leash feeling like a slave Won’t somebody slap me ...I’m so confused I see the look in her eyes I best surrender my pride or she’ll get Real Blue

Taboo 06:32
lyrics

There’s a pain that pleasures me, It’s looked down on by society, Kept out of view, My secret it grew, Until my fantasy came true I paid my dues I’m battered and bruised But still I pursue My favorite Taboo When I..I’m in the mood And I’m turning blue. With my Taboo Like the fool in the tower The desiring power Feeds my shameful need So I String up a noose For the sexual abuse And wait for the pleasure to exceed Hanging there Naked and bare Alone In the nude With my taboo When I ..I’m in the mood And I’m turning blue...with my Taboo And when it’s over And you’re feeling sober And the blood flows back into your brain Scares will ensue Your neck is black and blue And you feel so ashamed You swear you’ll never Do That again But you know you know that isn’t true For I love my Taboo When I…Howl at the moon I’m in the mood ..for my Taboo
