''Enjoy Your Day'' Buy Album ''Book of Spells'' ➥https://t.ly/YGJNX by The Boneshakers 22 Apr 1997, #Soul #Blues #Jazz. About, The Boneshakers, you might say, are a danceable roots rock version of Steely Dan -- two songwriters/instrumentalists/vocalists (Randy Jacobs and Sweet Pea Atkinson) compose tart, biting songs and perform them with ensembles of guest musicians, some bearing impressive credentials (in this case, critical fave Jon Butcher among them). Jacobs and Atkinson had previously worked together with Was (Not Was); individually, they've collaborated with everyone from Elton John and Coolio to Iggy Pop and Ofra Haza. But even down to its title, their debut album, Book of Spells, seems to promise just slightly more voodoo than it actually delivers. It opens with the James Brown warhorse "Cold Sweat," later revisits Was (Not Was)' twisted, oddly graceful "I Blew up the United States," and concludes with the fluffy and tasty funk vamp "Fudge Brownie." But the journey between isn't exactly crammed full of memorable moments. The roadhouse blues "Part Time Man," the ballad "Let's Straighten It Out," and other tracks such as "The One You Run To" might be pleasant enough, authentic grooves, but there are no great songs on this album.
Lyrics: Let's straighten it out
Sit yourself down, girl
And talk to me
Tell me what's on your mind
Don't keep saying
Everything's ok, baby
'Cause if it was, girl
You wouldn't be crying
You've been tossing and turning
In your sleep lately, baby
Sitting around crying all day long
Now how in hell do you expect me
To understand, baby
When I don't even know what's wrong
Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out, baby
Well the last five nights
When we went to bed
Oh I could tell something wasn't right
When you turned your back
And you covered your head, baby
You didn't even say good-night
Now if you're tired
And you don't wanna be bothered, baby
Just say the word
And I'll leave you alone
Instead of lying there
Crying your eyes out
You and me oughta be getting it on
Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out, baby
Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out
Please let's straighten it out, baby
Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out now, baby
