Floyd Lee & His Mean Blues Band
Fronted by Mississippi bluesman Floyd Lee and guitarist/songwriter/producer Joel Poluck, the band was formed in 2001 in New York City beginning in the local train stations, combining a deep Mississippi blues style with multiple other traditional and modern elements. After the success of their first Amogla Records release, “Mean Blues” they began to travel far and wide, bringing along their veteran bass player Brad Vickers (Pinetop Perkins/Jimmy Rogers/Hubert Sumlin), playing in Mississippi juke joints and many blues festivals around the world. Over their twelve year career as a band they recorded several blues chart topping albums and included such members as legendary Mississippi blues drummer Sam Carr (Sonny Boy Williamson/Buddy Guy/Eric Clapton). Their songs have been covered by many artists, including Southern California blues rocker Walter Trout (John Mayall/ Canned Heat). They composed and performed the title song in the first of the "Playing For Change" series (2002). The award winning documentary, “Full Moon Lightnin’”, by John C. Gardiner spotlighted the band at the height of their career and was included on the Mississippi Blues Trail historical marker in Merigold Mississippi. Due to health related issues, Floyd Lee could no longer record or perform shows after 2013, up until his passing in 2020 at the age of eighty six.

Sittin’ on top of the mountain
Lookin’ out over the sea
Sittin’ on top of the mountain
Angels talkin’ to me
Ain’t no rain for days now
Clouds all passin’ by
Ain’t no rain for days now
River all run dry
There’s a north wind blowin’
And the red sun’s going down
Cold north wind is blowin’
Answers still ain’t been found
Got an angel feather in my pocket
To take me far away
Got an angel feather in my pocket
Gonna take me to my grave…
Gonna take me to my grave
Gonna take me to my grave
Oooo, oooo, oooo, oooo
Ooooo, oooh, mmmm mmmm mmmm
Mmm, ya, yaaa, yaaaaaa, yaaa
Mmm, Mmmm, yaaaa, yaaa
Gonna take me
Take me
Mmmm
Mmmm
