HI there, I'M COUNTRY CARL welcome to my site. I'm now an unsigned artist (formerly with Nickel Records). I just got back from Beau Robinson Music where I layed down some tracks to a new song called Hobo Up and another called Bridge to Tulsa. Things have really been hectic with all the fuss surrounding the New Depression Blues Song/Video. If you haven’t seen it then tie on in to http://NewDepressionBlues.com and see the CD cover. I maybe hitting the road again but I don’t want to get ahead of the promotion. Last early summer I was in Nashville when Eddie Arnold died and stayed in Brentwood. I did some song shopping then but no real luck panned out. Also I was in Tulsa a few months ago left inspired and wrote this ballad called Bridge to Tulsa. But now the New Depression Blues has garnered all this attention so I ‘m digging in with both hands and feet to handle media and folk feedback. Got to Go –Bless you all -Country Carl

The Music Review.....NEW DEPRESSION BLUES.... Song/Video

If you heard John Rich's protest song "Shutting Detroit Down" get on board the protest song/video NEW DEPRESSION BLUES by Country Carl. The song/video has an authentic man on the street lyrical message that dates this time period so profoundly. More important it keeps the focus where it should be, on the survival of the newly minted unemployed and on our nations homeless in tent cities and on the streets.

Here are the lyrics to NEW DEPRESSION BLUES:

My jeans are wearin thin
My pockets wearin through
I aint had a paycheck
Since they’ve closed the factory too

I got the new..I got the New Depression Blues
And things aint been this bad here since 1932

The unemployment office,
they pay my salary
but when my checks stopped coming
You know I just can’t live for free
I got the new..I got the New Depression Blues
and things aint been this bad here.since 1932

(Instr.)

Now they bailed out the big banks
And motor city too
They foreclosed on my house
and my trailer rent is overdue
I don’t know how they figure
That a man’s supposed to live
When they’ve taken just bout everything
He could ever give
I got the new.I got the new depression blues
and things aint been this bad heresince 1932

So lets ask President Obama
have some mercy on us too
get this country back in shape
we’ll vote you back in Oh One Two

I got the new..I got the new depression blues
And things aint been this bad here since 1932.
