about

"The devil's in the station with his old top hat
Picking up your pieces in a burlap sack…'

An everyday tale of faithlessness, revenge and murder…

Tales and drunken fables from Wily Bo Walker's cinematic world of VoodooVille, a landscape which delivers its stories of love, betrayal, death, murder, and all those other Southern gothic, voodoo blues, swamp’n’stomp myths, in film noir tropes…

'Could Have Loved You', recorded as part of the EOL Sessions, is a Wily Bo tale with a hint of what's in store…

Welcome to VoodooVille!

"I hit the road
I ain't never coming back no more…"

Available as Hi Res Audio 24Bit 96khz FLAC or WAV download as well as regular MP3 etc


Press Reviews:

"Early Springsteen meets the Waterboys by way of The Band! Fabulous energy!"


"An everyday tale of faithlessness, revenge and murder. It doesn't get more classic rock than that, and you can smell the leather and motorcycle grease throughout the new single. Could Have Loved You is a further tale from Walker's VoodooVille, a storyscape filled with gothic noir tales and voodoo blues. There is something irresistibly fun and cinematic at play here, and it's the kind of track that takes you on a thrill ride, leaving you somewhat breathless at the end. This is blues-infused rock at its finest." AJ (Fatea Magazine)

lyrics

I COULD HAVE LOVED YOU BABY
BUT YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE DONE THAT
I COULD HAVE LOVED YOU BABY
YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE DONE THAT
MESSING WITH MY BEST FRIEND
BEHIND MY BACK
COULD HAVE LOVED YOU BABY
BUT YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE DONE THAT
NO NO

I COULD HAVE LOVED YOU BABY
BUT YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE DONE THAT
I COULD HAVE LOVED YOU BABY
YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE DONE THAT
YOU BOUGHT YOURSELF A GUN
AND A CADILLAC
YOU CAN RUN, YOU CAN HIDE
YOU’RE NOT COMING BACK…
NO NO

16 TONS AND A HEART ATTACK
THE DEVIL’S IN THE STATION
WITH HIS OLD TOP HAT
PICKING UP YOUR PIECES
IN A BURLAP SACK
HE TURNS AROUND TO TELL ME
BOY, YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE DONE THAT
NO NO

SOME PEOPLE KILL FOR PASSION
SOME MURDER FOR THE LOVE THAT THEY LOSE
BUT ALL YOU’RE LEFT IS REGRET
AND THE WILY BO BLUES
I’VE GOT THE WILY BO BLUES

SO I’M SITTING DOWN HERE ON THE RAILROAD TRACK
I’VE GONE SO FAR I CAN NEVER GO BACK
TIMES MAY CHANGE BUT IT’S TIME THAT WE LACK
AND THE ONLY THING YOU LEARN IS
YOU CAN NEVER GO BACK
NO NO

I COULD HAVE LOVED YOU BABY
BUT YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE DONE THAT
COULD HAVE LOVED YOU BABY
YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE DONE THAT
MESSING WITH MY BEST FRIEND
BEHIND MY BACK
YOU BOUGHT YOURSELF A GUN
AND A CADILLAC
YOU CAN RUN, YOU CAN HIDE
YOU’RE NOT COMING BACK…
LORD, I COULD HAVE LOVED YOU BABY
BUT YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE DONE THAT
I COULD HAVE LOVED YOU BABY
BUT YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE DONE THAT

I HIT THE ROAD
AND I’M NEVER COMING BACK NO MORE
I HIT THE ROAD
I’M NEVER COMING BACK NO MORE
I HIT THE ROAD
I’M NEVER COMING BACK NO MORE, NO MORE
NO MORE, NO MORE
I HIT THE ROAD
AND I’M NEVER COMING BACK NO MORE
NO MORE
NO MORE
