Here is a brand-new release of Denim Blues, a song I used to sing in the Java Joes days when I was performing in San Diego in the 90s.

Just never got around to recording it. So here we are over 25 years later and it’s finally done!! Steve Poltz sometimes jumped on stage at Joe’s and sang harmonies with me or invited me to sing it during one of his sets with the Rugburns. And my old friend jumped onto the song from Nashville to sing with me on this beautiful version!

Thanks to Anthony DaCosta for recording Steve’s vocals, and to my partner Brian Castillo for doing the final engineering and production.

lyrics

A little bit faded
A little bit worn out
A little bit ripped up
Since I met you
A little bit under
Since I went a bit over
Lord got these denim blues
From you
I still got these denim blues

You gave me your levis
God they were holy!
You gave me your goodbyes
Returned my shoes
And I’ve been living
My own revelations
But I still got these denim blues
From you
I still got these denim blues

And it’s a piece of cake to get out of here
You just find another high
Way up in the stratosphere
We don’t need to cry

Don’t think I’ll get jaded
Though the world is a sick place
Don’t think I could hate it
Sure can’t hate you
Sometimes they feel so good
Sometimes they fit just right
Yeah, I still got these denim blues
From you
I still got these denim blues

And it’s a piece of cake to get out of here
You just find another high
Way up in the stratosphere
We don’t need to cry

A little bit faded
A little bit worn out
A little bit ripped up
Since I met you
A little bit under
Since I went a bit over
Lord got these denim blues
From you
I still got these denim blues

about

Elizabeth Hummel Olympia, Washington

I have been writing songs most of my life. A good bit of recording and performing too. Money comes and goes, but the muse is precious and timeless. I pray that my songs help people through darkness as well as celebrate the light. This music is a village and I am not alone. I am deeply grateful to the many people who have helped me birth these songs in so many ways. You are the Love! ... more
