Lyrics

I Ain't No Van Gogh
Margie & Art Corey/BMI
Copyright 2017 (C)

1st Verse
Who's your targeted audience today
Why you singin' songs that don't pay
You're wasting all your precious time away...

2nd Verse
And no one cares what you're tryin' to say
With clever chords and crappy clichés
Oooo.........It's so sad............
It's sad............

Chorus
I hear those voices loud and clear
I ain't no Van Gogh, won't cut off my ear
Can't stop my playing, whatever they say
Till the Good Lord comes and takes me away......

Solo.....

3rd Verse
I could write about Big Trucks and Beer
I'm told that's......what they want to hear
I'm not writin' to please the crowd
I'm just sayin'......what I feel out loud
I may never make a dime..........

Chorus..........

Ending..........
You say I'm not.......gonna make a dime
You think I'm playin and wastin' my time....
Who you thinkin' you're foolin' anyway?
With clever chords and crappy clichés
Ooooooooooo...
Yeah....it's so sad................yeah it's sad
I may just play this song, one more time
Yeah for me....just for me............

vocal timbre and phrasing has real personality - like Dylan -- good character in the voice - suits the style very well. The instrumentation and production are very good, like how the piano keeps the song alive...

Cool Blues Rocker! Great lyrical content that is well sung! Balance of music and vocals allow the listener to hear the story. Great beat and rhythm. Well done!

Good groove

Nice anthem that a lot of blues guys can relate to. Strong performances from musicians and the singer!

great stuff, good performances, and good recording. fun song

Must be my lucky day. If Arlo Guthrie and Dylan and had a Love Child. This song is Amazing. Some great Instrumentation.
A little like Timbuck 3. Three minutes goes by fast with this Tune. Before you know it your playing it again.

i like the harmonies and piano
Dylan-esque vocals, too...

The song sounds "fine" to me and singer has a good recording voice. I think the song has radio play and can do well on the radio.

Vocals remind me of Dylan a little. Like the panning of the piano on the left and horns on the right. Nice groove, makes you want to get up and move!

Solid groove in a real authentic country blues style,along with some very nice picking and great piano work. Solid recording and playing overall.
