about
The debut full-length album from the Mississippi Kings was recorded over eight months at Vibewrangler Studio in Hamilton. Features 11 soul-infused singalongs, from the Black Crowes-esque rock of "Some Revolution" to the country stomp of "In The Pale Moonlight". Also features the soul single "Sailing On The Ocean".

"If you listen closely to this album you’ll hear a variety of eclectic genres. What The Mississippi Kings do well is mash it all up and then give it a style of their own."
- American UK

"Look, it’s easy for a band to try to replicate the sounds we all grew up loving, but it’s hard as hell to pull it off and The Mississippi Kings do that with ease."

Track Name: A Little Bit Of Soul
Baby, you’re just another face in the crowd
You don’t have to worry, baby
A little bit of soul is around

Your name…
Well it don’t mean nothing to me
I’m gonna have my way whether wrong or right

I keep walking in circles
Trying to find my way
I know I’m going nowhere
But that’s ok…

Cos I got you!

There’s a place…
Haven’t you ever been?
I see your face, and then stop…
And keep on running

Let’s get loud, with that loving sound
The good times are comin', baby
When a little bit of soul is around

I keep walking in circles
Trying to find my way
I know I’m going nowhere
But that’s ok…

Cos I got you!
Track Name: Some Revolution
When I think of all the things I’ve said and done
I know they’re wrong
But I keep on moving on

It’s been a long time coming
But it’s been coming for too long
I know it’s gonna get better before it’s gone

And it’s been a hard time thinking
Oh, the things you do for free
I know I’m just hanging out on the breeze
So come along, I don’t need to bow to anyone…

I’m gonna head down to New Orleans
Gonna get out of this dead end scene
This old town ain’t what it seems
Everyone’s waiting for some revolution…

You gotta take some time to think it over
I’ve been living my life in technicolor
And I must be leaving…

I want to feel that country rain
The feeling up here just ain’t the same
In the early evening…
And I don’t need to bow to anyone…

I’m gonna head down to New Orleans
Gonna get out of this dead end scene
This old town ain’t what it seems
Everyone’s waiting for some revolution…
Track Name: Sailing On The Ocean
Woman, can you hear me?
Cos I’ve been singing to you every night
You may think that there’s no future
But my future never looked that bright

And it’s too late to turn back now
Cos I’ve been drifting all around for days
It don’t matter where you turn or where you’re going to
Cos darling I was born to follow you

You can run into the setting sun
Loving you is just a point of view…

And I’ve been sailing on the ocean, babe
Ever since you left me

Woman, can you see me?
Cos I’ve been waving my hands in the air
I don’t know you are or where you’re coming from
But I know that you can take me there

Oh, you’ve been so good to me, baby
That I just can’t get enough of your love
Oh, don’t you go and take me granted
Cos I know that you can’t get enough

You can run into the setting sun
Loving you is just a point of view…

And I’ve been sailing on the ocean, babe
Ever since you left me

Woman, yeah woman
You've gotta stand on your own two feet
I don’t wanna stand close to you
But you bring me to my knees

And I’ve been sailing on the ocean, babe
Ever since you left me
Track Name: Dirty Old-Time Nursery Rhyme Blues
Well even old Mother Hubbard, ain’t got no cupboard for you
Just like Jack B. Nimble, you spent all your money on juice
Well even Sinatra in drag, ain’t enough to get you loose

I’m not a doctor, but I play one on the tube
I’ll stitch you up baby, if you want me to

So pleased to meet you, let me mistreat you
Damn. I got those dirty old-time nursery rhyme blues

Jill baby, I’ve never seen you look so good
You climbed that hill just like I knew you would
Forget that Jack, lets me and you get understood

Here come old flattop, man he really digs them rhythm and blues
He’s the king of the castle, and he stepped all over my shoes

So pleased to meet you, let me mistreat you
Damn. I got those dirty old-time nursery rhyme blues
Track Name: I Tried So Hard
You tell me that you love me
I know that you won’t lie
But you don’t see my baby
You don’t see me cry

I thought I had it all lately
But now I know I’m wrong
You could have it all
But you keep me hanging on

And I said oh, baby I don’t want to go
Cos I tried so hard, baby
But I just can’t keep from leaving you…

Tell me, can you see the lines on my face
I’ve been waiting so long that I’m counting the days
So tell me darling, tell me what you think I should do
Cos I tried so hard, baby
But I just can’t keep from leaving you…
Track Name: This Old Melody
I woke up this morning, alone
Singing that old melody
It's the same old song I heard all along
It's really made a mess out of me

I've grown so sick of this world again
I won't be breaking no smile
We've all been down this road before
And this time it's taking a while

It's lonesome in the evening
It's getting much worse every day
I spend my whole life and I won't be denied
But you'll see me walking away

Right now is just a joke
But I won't be laughing that much
It's been a long decline to this state of mind
But I just don't see the rush

It's lonesome in the evening
It's getting much worse every day
I spend my whole life and I won't be denied
But you'll see me walking away
Track Name: In The Pale Moonlight
Don’t come around here cuz it’s not the same
Losing you would be a crying shame
No need to worry cuz I like your style, anyhow
We’re gonna make it ‘til the sun goes down

Walk with the devil on a Saturday night
Walk, walk, walk in the pale moonlight

Don’t come around here cuz it’s not the same
I wouldn’t want you taking all the blame
No need to worry cuz I like your style, every night
We’re gonna make it ‘til the morning light

Walk with the devil on a Saturday night
Walk, walk, walk in the pale moonlight
Track Name: Bad News Blues
Give me one reason to turn back around
I loved you girl but you let me down
I don’t remember ever feeling so fine
But then pretty girl you went and crossed the line

Oh baby, give me some of that bad news
Cos it ain’t no lie
Girl you hung me out to dry

Go on and take all the things you need
Cos you know they mean nothing to me
Go on pretending that it’s better this way
But don’t come a-knockin’, I got nothing to say

Oh yeah, I’ve given all my love to you
But I didn’t see what you could do
Sometimes I swear I was born to lose
But I’d rather lose then spend one more night with you

Give me one reason to turn back around
I loved you girl but you let me down
I don’t remember ever feeling so fine
But then pretty girl you went and crossed the line

Oh baby, give me some of that bad news
Cos it ain’t no lie
Girl you hung me out to dry

Oh yeah, I’ve given all my love to you
But I didn’t see what you could do
Sometimes I swear I was born to lose
But I’d rather lose then spend one more night with you
Track Name: Shoop (A Loving Sound)
How many times should I stand at your door?
I’m tired of waiting; no more
So I’ll be going back on home

Katie once said, I’ll be home in October
But she’s still leaving, out my door
So I’ll be running right on home

And I sing shoop
It’s a loving sound
Shoop
It’s a loving sound

How many times should I stand at your door?
I’m tired of waiting, so no more
And I’ll be running right on home

And I sing shoop
It’s a loving sound
Shoop
It’s a loving sound
Track Name: All Eyes
Go ahead and stop me if you’ve heard this one before
Cos we all know it’s all been said and done
I could try and break a smile but I know that it’s no good
Cos in the end I’ll be the lonely one

Go ahead and stop me if you’ve heard this one before
Cos we all know it’s all been said and done
I could try and break a smile but I know that it’s no good
Cos in the end I’ll be the lonely one
I was thinking I’d go and I’d get a little sleep
But I just can’t help it darlin, you’re the one I need

Oh but I am aching as the hours turn into days
And I don’t want to leave you, babe
But something’s got to break

Cos it’s true…
They can’t take their eyes off of you

Go ahead and put out all the fires in my mind
Cos we all know it’s all been said and done
I won’t try to love you if you leave it all behind
Cos in the end I’ll be the lonely one

Oh but I am aching as the hours turn into days
And I don’t want to leave you, babe
But something’s got to break

Cos it’s true…
They can’t take their eyes off of you
Track Name: Best Be On Your Way (Little Boy)
Best be on your way, little boy
Best be on your way
You gotta work in life, work it away
I want you to know, you best be on your way

I can't believe what you're doing to me
You've taken my dreams and dragged them out in the streets
You don't understand, what i think i can be, you see

Best be on your way, little boy
Best be on your way
You gotta work in life, work it away
I want you to know, you best be on your way
