	Story Behind the Song Jessie wanted a traditional sounding kick ass Electric Blues tune like what you'd hear on KLON on a hot Sunday afternoon. She wanted it to be ABOUT the blues and incorporate history and passion. Papadog came up with the tune and Tom Romero took charge of the licks. Lyrics READY FOR THE BLUES by Jose Payo © 1999 Little Johnny Music I can hear the thunder I can hear the breeze I can hear the crying Of a man on his knees I can hear a hound dog I can even hear his fleas I hear it everywhere And then I sing it when I please Are you ready? Tell me can you hear it, too? It's the sound of broken hearts and the sound of walkin' shoes And it hits you with a beat you can't refuse Are you ready for the blues? Sometimes you get lucky Sometimes you win Then before you know it You're down and out again Bad luck around the corner Everywhere you turn Give your troubles to the blues Get up and dance and make it burn Are you ready? People can you hear it too It's the sound of losers winning And the sound when winners lose And it hits you with a beat you can't refuse Are you ready for the blues? I can hear the wolf a-howlin' The Jay Hawkin's scream I can hear the Muddy Waters Flowin' through my dreams Got a royal family Koko is the queen Buddy Guy's the ace of hearts And B.B. is the King Are you ready? People can you hear it too? It's the sound of broken hearts And the sound of walkin' shoes And it hits you with a beat you can't refuse Are you ready for the blues? It's the sound of losers winnin' And the sound when winners lose And it may be just enough to get you through Are you ready for the blues?
