As soon as we finished the first song, we realized that “the time was just right to create blues sounds.”
The band was soon joined by Pianist Jonathan Stephens, who spiced up the mix with his powerful and classic style playing.
Soon after finishing our first song we began writing and recording our debut album.... VOL. 1, released in 2014. This album was more than just a new record, it became an expression, a way to convey and share years of musicianship.
In 2018 they released the single "The Devil in You"
After searching for a new sound and wanting to bring something fresh to the game we are finally releasing our latest single "ADDICTED" with a fresh new sound and willing to explore and experience music at a new level.
Addicted was released on February 7th 2020, followed by Body Soul & Blues released on September 25th marking the full new sound, Neo-Blues is born.
Bourbon Blues Ensemble has performed in major blues festivals in Mexico like:
° Festival Internacional de Blues en Pozos
° Festival Queretablues
° Festival Madero Blues
° Jalpa Rock & Blues Fest
° Festival de las Luces
° Festival Internacional Cervantino
° Talento Radioactivo
As well as many private shows as part of their music promotion.
When
Bourbon Blues Ensemble Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think about you.
I can tell you baby,
there's nothing else
nothing at all.
Last night I was the hero
but this morning I'm alone.
Not when you're away from home.
When I wake up evey morning
I think I'm loosing you.
Bur baby, when I'm on the stage
the blues is all.
When you're in love
with someone.
When you love someone,
Am I the only one?
When you're in love
with someone
When you love someone,
blues ain't sad at all.
When you're in love
with someone.
When you love someone,
Am I the only one?
When you're in love
with someone
When you love someone,
blues ain't sad at all.
When you're in love
with someone.
When you love someone,
Am I the only one?
When you love
when you and you love
Oh, Oh Lord
you love someone.
The lyrics of Bourbon Blues Ensemble's "When" are a reflection of a person's inner turmoil when they're in love, but the relationship is not going well. The central character wakes up every morning thinking about their loved one, and even when they're on stage, all they can think about is the blues, a reflection of the pain they're feeling. The line "last night I was the hero, but this morning I'm alone" depicts the frequent ups and downs of relationships, where things can seem great one day, only to fall apart the next. The character also questions whether they're the only one in love with their partner, further emphasizing their insecurities.
The lyrics also touch upon the theme of distance and how it can impact relationships. The line "life ain't easy baby, not when you're away from home" speaks to the challenges of maintaining a relationship when both partners are apart, and the uncertainties that can arise when the physical distance increases. The character feels like they're losing their loved one and wonders if they're still the only one in love.
Overall, the lyrics of "When" describe the struggles of trying to maintain a relationship when the feelings are not reciprocated, and how the blues can provide some solace in those moments. It reflects the emotional complexity of love and relationships, where things may not always be easy, and feelings can change quickly.

When I wake up every morning
Every day when I arise from sleep
I think about you.
My thoughts go to you and only you
I can tell you baby,
I know for sure, my dear
there's nothing else
There is absolutely nothing else in my mind
nothing at all.
Only you are present in my thoughts
Last night I was the hero
I was the champion last night
but this morning I'm alone.
But now I am all by myself
Coz life ain't easy baby
Because life is hard, my love
