The song says it all. It occurred to me while on a tour of Europe that I was literally carrying the baggage of my broken marriage from town to town. I'd long since split up with my French wife and had been meaning to return her things but couldn't locate her. I wrote this song long before I heard the news of her passing. Now the words carry a bit more weight.

lyrics
Still Got Her Suitcase
I still got her suitcase
It’s been all around the world
I still got her suitcase
It’s been all around the world
I got a sticker for every country
I just don’t got the girl
I still got her suitcase
Why I aint got a clue
I still got her suitcase
Why I aint got a clue
On the bus and on the plane
I just check it right on through
I still got her suitcase
It just sits there by the door
I still got her suitcase
It just sits there by door
It reminds me to keep on moving
She don’t love me anymore

The Voodoo Blues. A throbbing, swampy groove from The Snakeys. Can't wait to see these folk live. A sound reminiscent of many of the late Sixties, early Seventies rock legends, given a massive injection of mojo and attitude.
It's all quality. Great songs and great performances. The band is tight. Great swing on the drums and bass. The real deal for sure. Great singer and raunchy guitarwork. Richard Crowfoot

Like their last EP this is a great modern blues rock record with a nod to the great British blues boom of the late 70's like Taste and Groundhogs , Chris has a great early Johnny Winter snarl to his voice and the rhythm section is solid . great guitar psychout on the track Ride on . Cant wait to catch them live if they get to Sydney William Stevenson
