Malcolm Wells & The Two-Timers - Gentlemen’s Bet

Album: Hollerin’ Out Loud | Website: | Lyrics: You don’t know me. We ain’t never met. You don’t know me. Aw no, we ain’t never met. You know, I’ve got a proposition. Let’s just call it a gentlemen’s bet. I bet I can see your future. It’s so plain to see. I bet I can see your future. Jus’ like Miss Cleo on TV. You know, when I start prognosticating baby, Nostradamus ain’t got a dog-gone thing on me. I bet you got yourself a new girl. Lovin’ like you ain’t had before. Bet you got yourself a new girl. Lovin’ like you ain’t had before. You know, she’s doing all sorts of things to you. You just hollerin’ out loud for more. Instrumental All them things she’s whisperin’ to you, You know she said the same things, same things to me. All them things she’s doin’ to ya, late at night, You know, she did the exact same things to me. Yeah, I’m sure she’s gonna be true this time, though. Huh, huh! Lay down your wager and we’ll see. I ain’t sayin’ your girl is lyin’. You best learn from history. I ain’t sayin’ SHE’S A LOW-DOWN RUN-AROUND! But you best learn from history. The only honest bone in that girl’s body... The only honest bone belonged to me. “Hollerin’ Out Loud contains eleven original tracks written and arranged by Wells, who is a master harmonica player and has a beautiful, soulful voice. It begins with some hard driving blues in “Call My Name”, followed by a partly spoken-word song with a retro guitar sound and a groove that sounds somewhat similar to Slim Harpo’s “Baby Scratch My Back”. Wells also proves that he is an excellent songwriter, and although they are originals, they somehow seem comfortable and familiar. His lyrics are extremely clever and often sarcastic. For example, in “Divorce Decree”, he states “They should deny you parole for the things you’ve done to me. I’ll be happy as a man can be when that district court judge signs our divorce decree.” Women are likely to become extremely self-conscious listening to the sarcastic lyrics of “Muffin Top” which pokes fun at those who try to squeeze into clothing which is too tight. “It looks like someone started pouring and no one said stop. It just spilled right out over your pants top…I’m staring, and I just can’t stop—crazy about that hot pants muffin top.” And, in “Gentlemen’s Bet” he encounters someone dating his ex-girlfriend and predicts an unhappy end for the man, stating “I bet I can see your future. It’s so plain to see…just like Miss Cleo on TV…Nostradamus ain’t got nothing on me.” Despite the sarcastic lyrics, this is a beautiful slow blues song with a wonderful guitar solo. In fact, all the solos on this album are somewhat understated yet remarkable. There is no real flaw in this album, and even though debut albums usually contain one or two cover songs, listeners will be unlikely to wish there had been one, as there are no “throwaway” tracks. Fans of The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Rick Estrin, and The Nighthawks are bound to become fans of Malcolm Wells and the Two-Timers and will soon be lobbying for them to expand their tour outside of the Midwest. - Anita Schlank, Blues Blast 🎧 Don’s Tunes is about the music.
