about

Malinda was created after a long and bourbon fueled writing session by Eric and George. Close to midnight, it just came together and we suddenly had the basic music and words for the whole song. The band had a blast recording this. But something was missing - a roaring saxophone. No problem! Eric's friend Richard Reiter took on the challenge and... voila!

In case you're wondering, the story is based on an imagined prequel to Gerry Garcia and Robert Hunter's The Cumberland Blues. After we listened to this mix, well, we were just ready to take Melinda on the road.

lyrics

Well dance Malinda, just swing that thing. You make me sing Malinda. Yeah dance Malinda. You swing that thing. That makes me sing, Malinda.

When you take the room, I don’t see no one else.
Like a smoldering diva to a miner’s son you look so hot.
Well dance, Malinda. Just swing that thing. Don’t need no ring, Malinda.

Coming down the road you sure mean business.
You’re so phat and gritty in the back of your truck you make me roar.

The way you move all night you do mean business. But when you’re wearing your troubles in a flatbed load you still look hot.

Well dance, Malinda. Just swing that thing. You make me sing Malinda.
