The Vaughan Brothers' "Tick Tock"
I'm probably going to regret posting this one in the morning, because there are plenty of mistakes, but I like the groove.
In 1990, Stevie Ray and Jimmy Vaughan released the only Vaughan Brothers album. It came out shortly after Stevie Ray died. I don't really remember anything from the album except for this song, written by Jimmy, Jerry Lynn Williams, and producer Nile Rodgers, and it's been in the back of my head ever since. I've made a few attempts at learning it in the past couple of years, but this is the furthest I've gotten. I just love the D6's and Dmaj7's.
It's a hopeful song, but that hope is leavened by the "tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock people, time's ticking away" refrain.
