	Acoustic blues with a solid funk foundation and a strong vocal performance. Solid songwriting powered by Blake's old Martin and some slide work with his resonator guitar.

	Story Behind the Song Sex and betrayal are the themes here. Typical of Blake's "new direction" acoustic blues, this well-written song describes what happens when you play according to "house rules." Anyone who has lost time and/or money in Las Vegas or a late night poker game knows playing by house rules means the odds are stacked against you. Lyrics (Playin' By) House Rules I should have known this would lead to the blues - sleepless nights, restless days But if I'd known, would I change what I've done? Who's to know? Who's to say? Now I've got myself into this situation that's turned into a game for fools Did I hear you say "What you expect boy - you're playing by House Rules." "Best be careful who you're running with." Mama told me "Use your head. Unless you want to pay for your mistakes, best be careful where you make your bed. If you buy a hand in that game, they're going to use you like a tool All I'm saying is you'll be playing, playing by House Rules." I should have known this would lead to the blues - sleepless nights, restless days But if I'd known, would I change what I've done? Who's to know? Who's to say? Now I've got myself into this situation that's turned into a game for fools Did I hear you say "What you expect boy - you're playing by House Rules."
