I wrote this song in Amsterdam during a cold spell that froze all the canals and waterways. It's only happened a couple of times in the last 100 years. The Nederlanders respond by skating on the canals through several cities in a race that takes all day. I saw on the news that a man's nose froze off and he didn't know it until the end of the race. I'm pretty sure there was some drinking involved.

lyrics
Begging For Your Arms
Why must I be brought so low
Why
You said goodbye to me a million years ago
You said that you would always be there
I turned away I said I just don’t care
Here I am
I’m begging for your arms again
Why must I be brought so low
Why
Out on the street when it’s ten below
You said that you would always be there
To lift me up from my despair

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
