I love modern blues. Gary Moore would be in my opinion the birth of such a take on the old school structures that existed before.
After Gary's passing it seems that there was a need for a carrier of his torch. Along comes Joe B and there you have it!

I used only bass and drums behind my guitar. I wanted it sparse and basic so that the guitar stood out more. The bass supplies the implied harmonies underneath and the rest is all pentatonic scale improvisation with an occasional nod to the dorian mode.

LYRICS:

MIDNIGHT BLUES
It's the darkest hour
Of the darkest night
It's a million miles
From the morning light
Can't get no sleep
Don't know what to do
I've got those midnight blues

When the shadows fall
I feel the night closin' in
There must be some reason
For this mood I'm gettin' in
Can't get no sleep
Don't know what to do
I've got those midnight blues

Every evening after sundown
As the light begins to fade
I feel so low, but I just don't know
Why these blues won't go away
