I love modern blues. Gary Moore would be in my opinion the birth of such a take on the old school structures that existed before. After Gary's passing it seems that there was a need for a carrier of his torch. Along comes Joe B and there you have it!
I used only bass and drums behind my guitar. I wanted it sparse and basic so that the guitar stood out more. The bass supplies the implied harmonies underneath and the rest is all pentatonic scale improvisation with an occasional nod to the dorian mode.

LYRICS:
MIDNIGHT BLUES It's the darkest hour Of the darkest night It's a million miles From the morning light Can't get no sleep Don't know what to do I've got those midnight blues
When the shadows fall I feel the night closin' in There must be some reason For this mood I'm gettin' in Can't get no sleep Don't know what to do I've got those midnight blues
Every evening after sundown As the light begins to fade I feel so low, but I just don't know Why these blues won't go away
