Linsey Alexander - My Days Are So Long (2006)

I was born and grew up and first picked up the guitar in Memphis, Tennessee. Being 17 years old I packed up and left Memphis not knowing whether Chicago will accept me and what my future holds for me. During more than 30 years of performing, I have been given people something to look at, to be part of the show, to have a good time. Today I give thanks to God for giving me the strength to make this CD.

This is my third CD that I made. My first CD “I’m tired” had only four songs on it, three of which are included here. My other CD “Someone’s cooking in my Kitchen” was produced 2 years ago and still is up and rolling. I also have two live blues CDs.

This CD has the same rhythm as “Someone’s cooking in my Kitchen”. It combines both, blues you can dance to or blues you can sit down and listen to. None of the songs were written or exist on paper. They came to me and were created while being on stage. All of the songs on this CD are written by me, they are the documentary of me, things that I have experienced or currently going through. A CD explains you better than you can explain yourself to somebody who doesn’t know you.
