about
NOW DIG THIS!!

Are you ready for some driving party beats, amped up for the 21st century, all for your personal pleasure groove?

Great for dance parties and gym workouts!

Luxury Muscle, The Crawdaddy's second release since his musical re-emergence in 2008, is a collection of fresh originals and inspired covers of Classic Southern Soul Music, that's funky, hard-rockin', and always danceable.

The album title is a reference to the American superplush coupes of the 60's and 70's, that wrapped you up in four or five thousand pounds of steel and leather. With monster horses under the hood, they could jet you from zero to 60 in seven seconds... or the quarter mile in 14 seconds!

And pumping through the 8-track stereos of these big-boy cruisers was the soundtrack that drove this special time in American culture: an unpretentious funk-rock hybrid with tight grooves and loads of punch & bounce.

All tunes on Luxury Muscle are rendered into reality by The Crawdaddy hisself, a.k.a "The Father of The Order of The Craw"...

Track Name: What The Hell Is This?
My goodness! Here I come again y'all, runnin' thru the city. I'm just checkin' my traps you know...
Everybody talkin' bout, if I wanna have some fun to go on down to the YMCA.
If I go anywhere it's gonna be the YWCA, you know, I might catch me somethin'...
I'm tellin' you it's rough! Listen...

VERSE 1

Findin’ a job, it ain’t easy
Especially one that ain’t greasy.
Got find one in a hurry,
My money’s gettin’ funny and it’s got me worried.
Got a good education,
But it seems I stay on vacation.
The economy’s low in our nation.
Someone tell me what the hell is this?


CHORUS

They got me runnin’ through the city
like a chicken with my neck off,
Tryin’ to find a job, get me somethin’ down.
The real nitty gritty, it’s a pity
What the heck ya’ll, everywhere I go
They just turn me down.
Not today is what they say, find a needle in the hay,
Promises, promises, they never stop.
You know it’s getting’ hard when you can’t find a job at
Jack-in-the-Box…Damn!




VERSE 2

Brother finally gotta job that paid off.
Three days later he got laid off.
It made him sick and he needed a doctor.
When his wife got the bill, it shocked her.
Someone tell me what the hell is this? (x 3)

SOLO

CHORUS

VERSE 3

Took my woman to the grocery store.
I ain’t gonna take her down there no more.
Price of groceries ya’ll done got so high.
I lean on the counter and I moan and I cry.
Someone tell me what the hell is this? (x 3)


VAMP

Lawd, lawd, lawd, lawd. Won’t you help me find a job.
What the heck, I’m deeper in debt.
Findin’ a job it’s so hard.
They got me down so low. I got to look up
To tie my shoes. My nose is scrapin’ on the floor.
Track Name: See Saw
Sometimes you love me, like a good woman oughta...Sometimes you hurt me so bad, my tears run like water...You cuss me out, right before your friends...Then you kiss on me baby, when we're alone again...Your love is like a See Saw, goin' up, down, all around...Sometimes you tell me, I'm your sweet candy man...And then sometimes baby, I never know where I stand...You pick me up, when I'm on the ground...And as soon as I get up there, you send me tumblin' down...Chorus...When you kiss me and I like it, and I ask you to kiss me again...I reach for you but you jump clean outta sight...You change just like the wind, it ain't right!
Track Name: Male Side
Now ladies, I gotta little something I wanna tell you right now, I hope it will help us at this particular point in time...please listen...Well they was talkin' 'bout us men back in the 90's, they said we need to take a feminine look... I've always been a friend to pretty women, I don't need to read that stuff in no damn book...You know I never like to hang out with the jock boys, but I could still kick their butts on the field...I found my own way to woo the ladies, they always knew my deal was real...You outta get in touch with my male side, I'll go at any pace you wanna go...What will it take to get you on this ride, If you don't show me, will never know...A woman is not so complicated, she go by feel, don't care about my rules...But when I stick my foot across that thin line, It's time for me to go back to school...But sometimes you girls will confuse me, say you don't want to, but maybe you do...I don't play no games with that stuff baby, my love is strong enough to see us through...Chorus...Well nature made us different for a reason, sometimes we just will not understand... Well sugar, let's focus on the pleasin', be my woman, you'll be glad that I'm your man. You know that I'll go easy with you baby, I know exactly what to do...Come on let's take this thang to the next step, all I need is one clear sign from you...
Track Name: Three Time Loser
I wonder how many teardrops gonna fall tonight
& how many heartaches can a man have in one life?
I lost a lover, I lost a friend
I'm through with love, and I just can't win
3-time loser, 3-time loser

I wonder how many hours for true love I will have to wait
I wonder how many heartaches for true love I will have to take
Lost love once, lost love twice
What kind of love is worth that price?
3-time loser, 3-time loser
1-2-3, in misery, a 3-time loser

Repeat 2nd verse
Lost my woman, lost my friend
I'm through with love, and I just can't win
3-time loser

...vamp and fade
Track Name: Soul Shake

WHEN DO IT, DO IT BABY YOU’RE FINE SO FINE
DANCIN’ WITH YOUR BABY REALLY TURNS THE SOUL SHAKE ON
Track Name: Up & Down
Way down on the steam-laden coastline, Raised up in an ice-hardened shell.
Rarely caressed in his infancy, No recall of having been held.
Conceiver did stay by his bedside, Proved by the dim orange glow.
Stiff actions supplanted the lack of sweet words From his master who helped form the floe.
Removed he became, and self-centered, Just playing his own little game
He damn sure had no clue of the Law, “The way up and down is the same.”

Still there came constant reminders Of what turns the little blue globe.
Some lasted only a night, two or three, Others stayed long on the road.
Each added a few more degrees, To the flame that was always within.
But as each one respectively left him, He knew it must now fall to him . . .
To find Beauty in she who is here now, Who opens her soul to his stream.
She is helping to make him aware of the law, “The way up and down is the same.”

No longer a slave to the ego, no steppin’ on so many hands
No more talkin’ the talk y’all, sleepwalking in land after land
Now he is learning about the way up, Where desire becomes mystery.
Content to know not what he loves, Content to just let her be . . .
The glass into which he can now peer, And with her unravel the game
Well phrased by the ancient Obscure One, “The way up and way down is the same.”
Track Name: Stone Free
VERSE 1
Everyday in the week i'm in a different city
If i stay too long people try to pull me down
They talk about me like a dog
Talk about the clothes i wear
But they don't realize they're the ones who's square

Hey!
And that's why
You can't hold me down
I don't want to be tide down i gotta move on!

Woman here, woman there try to keep me in a ...plastic cage
But they don't realise it's so easy to the break
Oh butta sometimes i get a ha!
I can feel my heart kind a ...runnin' hot
That's when i got to move before i get caught

And that’s why, listen to me baby, you can't hold me down
I don't want to be tied down
I gotta be free, Oww!

CHORUS 2
I said
Stone free do what i please
Stone free to ride the breeze

Track Name: Rock Steady
Well, when I want to rock steady,
I know, I got to get ready,
Close my eyes, and I let myself go.
Listen to, oh, Baby, let the music flow,

CHORUS
Turn on your light and stay with me a while,
And ease your worried mind,
Turn on your light, now Babe.
And stay with me a while and rock steady.
Yeah, oh, now rock steady,
Yeah, rock, rock steady.

When my love gets a little bit too heavy,
She's mine and I got to get ready.
Close my eyes and let myself go,
I listen too, yeah, and I let the music flow.
Yeah, it's flowing now.

CHORUS
SOLO
CHORUS
Track Name: Luv Stuff
Well they never pick me up baby, but you sure did...It was closin' time, the California Girl, she was stuck in that desert grid...Well we made a little magic, oh yeah, we sure passed a real good time...But my past was too fresh, and I ain't the overnight kind... I had to get back on my feet, I needed some air...You were so sweet, but I wasn't quite there..Well that luv stuff, it's so tough...Well I kept your number baby, but you did not do the same...I called you out of the blue...You called me another man's name...But you said come on up here Crawdaddy, and I will be a part of your plan...So I was off like a prom dress, I ran to you as fast as any man can. When I started to shake, you made me relax...It went down at the lake, but you brought it right back...Well that luv stuff is so tough...Well there's nothing so strong, as a love that's brand new...And when your old love has left you, you know the new one will really sting you...I've got all these feelings
baby, and you're the one who made me feel this way...And although it's time for me to go, you know I really rather would stay...I don't know what's a rebound, and what's the real thing...Got to see you again, see what love can bring...Well that luv stuff is so tough.
Track Name: Let's Go Get Stoned
Let's go get stoned...Everybody...You know my baby, she won't let me in...I got a few pennies, I'm gonna buy myself a bottle of gin...And then I'm gonna call my buddy on the telephone and say, Let's go get stoned...I work so hard, on the job all day long...Everything I try to do, always seem to turn out wrong...That's why I wanna stop by, on my way home, and say, Lets go get stoned...Now let me tell you one more thing...It ain't no harm to have a little taste, but don't lose you cool, and start messin' up the man's place...It ain't no harm, just to take a little nip, but don't you fall down, You might bust your lip...Chorus
Track Name: Arrested for Driving While Blind
When you're driving down the highway at night, and you're feelin' that Wild Turkey bite...Don't give Johnny Walker a ride, cause Jack Black is right by his side...You could get taken to the jailhouse and fined...You've been arrested for drivin' while blind...Just the other night with nothing to do, we broke a case of proof 102...And started itchin' for that wonderful feel, of rolling in an automobile...You could say that we were out of our minds, and let me tell you brother, we were flyin' while blind......TELL'EM LIKE IT TEE EYE IZZ!!.......Well they had us up against the wall...Hey it's only blood grain alcohol...There ain't no cause for alarm, we ain't out to do nobody no harm...How could anyone be so unkind, to arrest a man for driving while blind...
Track Name: Happy Fonk Day to You
Happy fonk day to you!
