Uploaded By ► Red Grey Matter ''Enjoy Your Day'' Buy Album ''Portrait'' #Lonnie #Shields is truly one of the finest of the next generation of the blues. He cut his blues teeth performing with The Jelly Roll Kings. His recording career has led him through a number of studios from Memphis and Clarksdale to tours all over the world. This Delta born guitarist, singer and songwriter's style is just the opposite of his demeanor. Lonnie comes across as a mild mannered southern gentleman with a laid back nature. On stage he is transformed into an extraordinary entertainer moving to his music and feeding off the energy of the audience. His music is deeply rooted in gospel, soul and R&B while his sound, like his soul is never too far from the home of the #blues. Lonnie was the first Delta artist that Rooster blues picked up after moving to Clarksdale, Mississippi in 1987. His CD “Portrait” was released in 1992 (named Album of the Year by Living Blues Magazine) and reads like a who’s who of Delta Blues Performers. Over the years, Lonnie has played with many Blues greats including Elvin Bishop, Sam Carr, Sonny Rhodes, Eddie Shaw and Big Jack Johnson just to name a few. In the years following his release of “Portrait” Lonnie’s career skyrocketed. He has performed all over the world and has released a string of impressive CDs featuring his soulful, “down home Blues” with a contemporary, yet juke-joint feel. Lonnie’s hard work has paid in a fine compilation of music and a reputation of a man with the heart and soul of the Blues. Lonnie now resides just outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania but always has and always will be the Keeper of The Blues wherever he lays his guitar. Currently, Lonnie is working on a new album featuring a young blues based artist, Jesse Loewy. This upcoming CD will consist of Lonnie's original material in addition to a tribute to BB King, Tyrone Davis, and Johnny Taylor, plus a bonus track in honor of Al Green (all of whom were extremely influential and inspirational to Lonnie's musical career). Lyrics: i remember the day, You went away you left me on my knees begging you to stay i found myself walking the streets and crying, and because of you i almost lost my mind and just when i thought it was safe for me to love again , and here you are and wanted me to take you back in i can't let you hurt the me Lord knows i can't let you hurt me but no more i can't let you hurt me no more please don't tell me nothing about love because there's one way you can't hurt me enough you did me wrong and you hurt me so and now i'm afraid to love anymore and just when my heart has started to me here you come now i can't let you hurt me i can't let you hurt me lord knows i can't let you hurt me but no more, but no more clown won't help and sorrow sorrow and just won't do i believe i can make one are you all of these nights i spin by myself i wonder i wonder when you're with someone else oh baby, can you see the time about the change oh baby, i can't let you hurt me i can't let you hurt me, Lord knows i can't let you hurt me Welcome to Red Grey Matter Club!
