Home (Marc Broussard)

"Bayou soul" is how to best describe Louisiana blues crooner Marc Broussard's music -- and "Home", an ode to the music of the South, is the perfect example of it. It's a unique mix of funk, blues, R & B, and rock -- the perfect contrast to a more high-energy pop opener. It features a bass solo in the first verse, and a higher tenor solo singing lead over the final chorus. It's also a sweet guitar feature.

Rolling down the road
Going no where
Guitar packed in the trunk
Somewhere round mile marker 112
Papa started hummin' the funk
I gotta jones in my bones before we know
We were singing this melody
Stop the car pulled out the guitar
Halfway to New Orleans

Said take me home
Take me home

Hot damn you should have felt the groove
Like I was swimming in a sea of soul
The sun was rising and the day was hot
And we was all about to lose control
My daddy turned his face up towards the sky
And I knew that there was nothing to lose
I felt the crowd breathe in and I closed my eyes
And we disappeared into the groove

Said take me home
Take me home

Straight from the water
Straight from the water children
Straight from the water
You don't know nothing about this

This greyhound is delta bound mama
Baby boy done finally found
Said this greyhound is delta bound mama
Baby boy done finally found his way home
Said take me home
Take me home
Said take me home
