Jeff Pitchell — I Wouldn’t Treat a Dog

From the Album: Playin’ with My Friends Year of Releas: 2023 Jeff Pitchell is a Connecticut-based guitar slinger, songwriter, vocalist and, based on his ninth and latest album, damned good at all of them. And, as if he needed any help, he’s picked a handful of capable friends to pitch in here, both on vocals and as bandmates. Included among those friends on duets and guest spots are Duane Betts, Charles Neville, Claudette King (B.B. King’s daughter, J. Geils, Rick Derringer, Christine Ohlman, and Tyrone Vaughan (Jimmie Vaughan’s son). Jeff Pitchell’s ninth release is titled Playin’ With My Friends, and let me tell you, those friends are many. Along with Jeff, on lead and backing vocals, guitar, bass and drums, the thirteen new tracks – of which nine are originals – feature duets and guest spots with Duane Betts on guitar; Charles Neville on horns; Claudette King on vocals; J. Geils on slide guitar; Rick Derringer on vocals and guitar; Christine Ohlman on vocals; and Tyrone Vaughan on vocals and guitar. Claudette King unleashes a tough vocal turn on the rocking blues of the title track, and Pitchell turns the soulful Bobby Bland lament, “I Wouldn’t Treat A Dog,” into a soul-stretching closer. Lyricist:Steve Barri, Michael Omartian, Michael Alan Price, Dan Walsh Well, mm hmm, listen When I was up You would always come around But when I needed a friend Oh, you could never be found I got a hole where My heart used to be I wouldn’t treat a dog, no, no The way you treated me When time was good, Lord All your loving was the same But when the going got rough You hardly knew my name You locked me up and You threw away the key I wouldn’t treat a dog, oh my Lord The way you treated me Got me crying for A love that I needed Begging like a dog for a bone Although I spent all Of my time pleading You turned your back And you leave me One of these old days Lord knows, and it’s true Just when you need me the most I’ll walk right out on you And you’ll say as you’re Begging down on your knees Bobby, I wouldn’t treat a dog No, no, no, the way you treated me The way you treated me I wouldn’t treat a dog, no, no I wouldn’t do it to you I wouldn’t treat a dog, no, Lord The way you treated me Oh, I wouldn’t do it I couldn’t do it Pitchell/Playin’ with My Friends VIDEO COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER: Video is made for entertainment purposes only and you can download this track on any authorized website such as, iTunes and ...
