The Cold Stares: Blues chameleon

“In the purest Southern tradition, while leaving enough freedom to put on his personal touch, THE COLD STARES makes a true declaration of love to the state that has seen many of its influences born. With “Texas”, the combo pays a vibrant and intense tribute to those who partly forge its Blues Rock between a life-giving modernity and a great respect for the foundations. This new effort may not be his most striking record, but it is obviously the most neat and subtle.”

A lot of you asked about the stripped down versions of the new album we played on the radio and record store tour. Happy to announce we’ll be dropping some live tracks and B-Sides this summer. Look for “Nothing But The Blues- Live and Stripped” on June 9th. We loved doing a juke joint style version of these and hope you dig it as well!

The Cold Stares releases Ways (LP)

Posted on by

Their latest release Ways features thirteen tracks illustrative of the musical maelstrom these two musicians conjure; the wall of sound conjured by two musicians impress live attendees without fail. Mullins and Tapp boast an impressive discography, but show no signs of slowing down – Ways is the band’s most fully realized effort yet and demonstrates continued exponential songwriting growth.

“Ways”
Oh she had her ways
Ways like a woman child
Said she’d never stay
Thought of it just drove her wild
Mother wasn’t worth a damn
You know her father didn’t care
So she painted it upon her face
And combed it through her hair

She’s the queen of broken hearts
Wrote the script and played the part
Patron saint of love betrayed
Oh that girl she had her ways

Oh she had her ways
Ways like a wounded child
Day after day
All he did was criticize
He’d say she wasn’t worth a damn
Said her friends they didn’t care
So she painted it upon her face
And combed it through her hair

She’s the queen of broken hearts
Wrote the script and played the part
Patron saint of love betrayed
Oh that girl she had her ways…
