about

Another song that Wily Bo Walker has included in his set from very early days. Originally heard on the Duane Allman Anthology Vol 1 it's a song he has carried with him since.

Said of this track:

"My personal favourite is their version of Fenton Robinson’s ‘Someone Lend Me A Dime’ – a standard on the Blues circuit but they make it sound dark and down at heel without the usual overwrought ‘passion’. Brayshaw’s guitar is subtle and even when he tears out the solo he doesn't lose the character of the song." Andy Snipper - Music News

"The mellow 'Loan Me A Dime' …seems purpose-built for Wily's soulful voice and E. D's beautifully paced, gentle, easy and mean guitar." Peter Elliott - The Blues Man in the Hat Reviews

"The opening guitar that is stylish with hints of Gary Moore as the notes sear through the blues tempo and the vocals growl and draw out the words giving them a dark blue effect with the desperation of Loan Me a Dime. This is blues that is steeped in misery and the backing vocals from Karena K adds a bitter-sweet air that makes the track work so well." Liz Aiken - Blues Doodles

lyrics

SOMEBODY LOAN ME A DIME
I NEED TO CALL MY OLD TIME USED TO BE
USED TO BE
SOMEBODY LOAN ME A DIME
I NEED TO CALL MY OLD TIME USED TO BE
LITTLE GIRL’S BEEN GONE SO LONG
YOU KNOW IT’S A’WORRYING ME
HEY LORD, IT’S WORRYING
WORRYING ME

WELL I KNOW SHE’S A GOOD LITTLE GIRL
BUT AT THAT TIME
I JUST DID NOT UNDERSTAND
I KNOW SHE’S A GOOD LITTLE GIRL
BUT AT THAT TIME
LORD I JUST DID NOT UNDERSTAND
SOMEBODY LOAN ME A DIME
YOU KNOW I NEED A HELPING HAND
A HELPING HAND

YOU KNOW I CRIED, LORD I CRIED
JUST LIKE A BABY
MMM, ALL NIGHT LONG…ALL NIGHT LONG
LORD I CRIED
MMM JUST LIKE A BABY ALL NIGHT LONG
OH ALL NIGHT LONG…
SOMEBODY BETTER LOAN ME THAT DIME
I NEED MY BABY
I NEED MY BABY HERE AT HOME
LORD I NEED MY BABY HERE AT HOME
