    This whole project, in which the Satan & Adam documentary connected me with Sterling Magee's nephew Rod Roderick Patterson, a remarkable creative artist in his own right, has been a joy-filled endeavor from Day 1. Rod, Alan Gross, and I recorded the album in an upstairs bedroom at a house in Water Valley, Miss., over the course of a pair of weekends back in January and February with the help of my favorite engineer and production guru, Bryan Ward. (Bryan also contributed harmony vocals and bass on one track apiece. And Jerry Jemmott, the Groovemaster, made the title track infinitely groovier with his bass-clef magic.)
    Little did we know what sort of challenges and changes were about to break across the American landscape this spring and early summer.
    Nine of the eleven tracks, including "Heartbreak," were songs that I performed and/or recorded with Mr. Magee. Two of the tracks, "Come Together" and "So Mean," are our originals. (Lyrics by Rod in the first case; lyrics and music in the second.) The album design was by Rod as well.
    Satan & Adam fans will want this, in other words. But we hope the rest of you will check it out.

about

The debut recording from a new blues trio, featuring Sir Rod Patterson (vocals), Adam Gussow (harmonica and percussion), and Alan Gross (guitar). With special guests Jerry Jemmott (bass) and Bryan W. Ward (background vocals).

Patterson is the nephew of Sterling "Mr. Satan" Magee. Magee and Gussow, whose performing and recording career spanned more than thirty years, are the subject of "Satan & Adam," a documentary currently screening on Netflix. Sir Rod and the Blues Doctors are the next chapter of that story.

lyrics

I Thought We Settled This Long Ago
Don’t Know What We’re Arguing For
Cause In This Fight Nobody Wins
I’m Hoping Now We Can Be Friends

We’re So Much Stronger Together
We Really Need Each Other…Hey
But You're Worried About Me
And I’m Worried About You
You Wearing Red
and I’m Wearing Blue
When The Real Enemy
Lies, Cheats and Kills
Taking Everything From Us at Will.

We Need To Open Our Minds Y’all
We Need To Open Our Eyes
Open Our Ears
We Need To Open Our Hearts

We’re So Much Stronger Together
We Really Need Each Other
I’m Talking About Peace
I’m Talking About Love

But You're Worried About Me
And I’m Worried About You
You Wearing Red
and I’m Wearing Blue
When The Real Enemy
Lies, Cheats and Kills
Taking Everything From Us at Will.

We Need To Open Our Minds Y’all
We Need To Open Our Eyes
Open Our Ears
Open Our Hearts

We Need To Come Together
We’re So Much Stronger Together
We Really Need Each Other
Yes We Do, OH
We Really Need To Come Together
Oh!

[Break]

But You're Worried About Me
And I’m Worried About You
You Wearing Red
and I’m Wearing Blue
When The Real Enemy
Lies, Cheats and Kills
Taking Everything From Us at Will.

We Need To Open Our Minds Y’all
We Need To Open Our Eyes
Open Our Ears
Open Our Hearts

We’re So Much Stronger Together
We Really Need Each Other
We Need To Come Together
We Need To Come Together
Oh!

I’m Talking About Peace
Talking About Us
Coming Together
Coming Together
Oh!

I’m Talking About Love Y’all
I’m Talking About Us
Coming Together
Oh Good God!
Oh!
Coming Together
We Need To Come Together
Yes We Do (Yes We Do) Yes We Do,
We Need To Come Together

Ohhhhhhhhhhh!
