Philadelphia’s blues and soul drenched vocalist and songwriter Deb Callahan grew up in the Boston area but has been a mainstay on the mid-Atlantic music scene since the late 90’s. During this time she has gained a reputation for writing creative blues, soul and roots influenced original music and using her powerful, expressive voice to deliver an exciting live show. Her 2002 debut CD “If the Blues Had Wings” was featured as the hot debut in the October/November 2004 issue of Blues Revue Magazine. Blues Revue referred to her as the next Bonnie Raitt and raved “Philly’s Deb Callahan has the pipes, the songs and the raw talent to graduate to the next level”. Doing social work in the heart of Philadelphia would be a good place to learn about life’s hard knocks and this urban school ground taught singer/songwriter Deb Callahan well. Her rich, honest and soulful tunes resonate with listeners and run the gamut from soulful ballads, to upbeat, dance oriented grooves. Her road tested band includes Allen James, Garry Lee and Tom Walling. http://www.debcallahanband.com/ Lyrics: I’m tossing and turning all through the night
Thinking bout all the things, that ain’t going right
My mind’s like a freight train, running down the track
Sometimes it rambles so far, I wonder is it ever coming back
I can’t sleep a wink, can’t sleep a wink at all
I can’t sleep a wink, I wonder how far I could fall
The Doctor he tells me, he says it’s all in my mind
He says take these little pills and you’ll feel just fine
A purple one, a yellow one, you know they all look the same
Sometimes I look at my haggard face, I think I’m going insane
I can’t sleep a wink, I can’t sleep a wink at all
You know I can’t sleep a wink, I understand now why people gotta drink
I keep thinking mind over matter how hard can it be
I know I got to keep it together, wanna stop all this misery
I can’t sleep a wink, can’t sleep a wink at all
You know I can’t sleep a wink, I wonder how far I could fall
I said Please Mr. Sandman, don’t pass me by again
Won’t somebody, somebody tell me, what have I done to offend
I can’t sleep a wink, Can’t sleep a wink at all
You know I can’t sleep a wink, I wonder how far I could fall
I can’t sleep a wink, Can’t sleep a wink at all
Can’t sleep, can’t sleep, can’t sleep at all
Can’t sleep a wink, Can’t …
Now I’m not awake but I’m not sleeping
just a tortured soul, what kind of life am I keeping
all this chitter chatter, chitter chatter, chitter chatter in my mind
you know I can’t , Can’t sleep at all
You know I can’t , Can’t sleep at all
somebody tell me, somebody tell me what have I done…
