Love's Been Linked to the Blues Lyrics


It was in the morning papers, the evening papers too
And I saw it on TV, so I know it must be true
This is no idle rumor, they've got the cold hard facts
They've even checked it out on little mice and ratsJust in case you haven't heard, I'll give you the bad news
Love's been linked to the bluesYou start out feeling happy but then love brings you down
You're acting like a hero; you end up like a clown
In study after study, it's the heart that gets broke
They're working 'round the clock searching for the antidoteWell, it's true that it's sad,but it's sadder that it's true
Love's been linked to the bluesSo you've got to be real careful and always on your guard
Falling in love, you know, it's harmful to your heart
It's worse than they suspected, it's as bad as it gets
The surgeon general says, "You're better off with cigarettes"If you must have your bad habits
Why don't you stick to booze
'Cause love's been linked to the blues?Well, it's true that its sad, but it's sadder that it's true
Love's been linked to the blues

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Legendary Folk-Blues Performer/Songwriter David Olney and his live performances with multi-instrumentalist Sergio Webb are converting new audiences while continuing to give the fans what they want. MTV's Urge.com witnessed a recent show and testified, "Olney Unbound...part Baptist preacher, part caustic comedian, and part existential bluesman... Olney shouted, moaned and howled his sharply observed hard-luck tales and quirky character studies. Webb, who looks like he stepped out of a Clint Eastwood spaghetti western, provided a dizzying array of textures, employing unconventional techniques"

Awarded the "People's Choice" at the Moab Folk Festival in November and having played the Hardly, Strictly Bluegrass Festival in Golden Gate Park & the Kerrville (TX) Wine & Music Festival this past Fall, David & Sergio are touring as a duo in support of Mr. Olney's critically acclaimed current studio album - "ONE TOUGH TOWN" (Red Parlor Records). The new CD has earned a spot on several 2007 "Best Of" lists online and in The Rochester (NY) Democrat & Chronicle, The Nashville Scene (TN), The Montreal Gazette (Canada), Rhythms Magazine (Australia) and others.

The prolific David Olney infuses his live performances with with an intensity that converts many new listeners into die-hard fans. Olney's intelligent compositions radiate that same intensity, many of which have been recorded by Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Del McCoury, Tim O'Brien, Lonnie Brooks, James King, Slaid Cleaves, Dale Ann Bradley, Tom Rozum, Ann Rabson, Kevin Welch / Keiran Kane / Fats Kaplin and others.

According to late Olney friend and fan Townes Van Zandt, "Anytime anyone asks me who my favorite music writers are, I say Mozart, Lightnin' Hopkins, Bob Dylan and Dave Olney. Dave Olney is one of the best songwriters I've ever heard — and that's true. I mean that from my heart."
