Keith Whitley-"Blues Stay Away From Me" (Live from Bob Mackey's, Wilder, KY, 1988)

Another slide show set to a classic tune written by Alton Delmore, Rabon Delmore, Henry Glover & Wayne Raney that Keith never recorded and very rarely performed live, but yet allowed him the freedom to perform his trademark vocal acrobatics. Many thanks to my friend Mike (realcountry2007) for providing me with the concert and converting it to digital, which I, in turn, jazzed up using Audacity.

Miami Band Personnel:
Bruce Rutherford-drums
Mike Chamberlain-bass
Joey Schmidt-keyboards, saxophone
Carson Chamberlain-guitars, electric pedal steel
Randy Hayes-guitar

Lyrics:
Blues stay away from me
Blues why don't you let me be
Don't know why
You keep on haunting me

Love was never meant for me
True love was never meant for me
It seems somehow
We never can agree

(break)

Blues stay away from me
Blues why don't you let me be
Don't know why
You keep on haunting me

Life is full of misery
Tears so many I can't see
Seems somehow
I never can be free

Blues stay away from me
Blues why don't you let me be
Don't know why
You keep on haunting me
