Turn Around Circle Back Again Blues

“Turn Around, Circle Back Again Blues” began as a poem by David Dossey and grew into a full blues song through a little lyric shaping, a lot of rhythm listening, and some playful experimenting with the music. The song follows a man trying to get over someone who keeps finding her way back into his thoughts. He walks from room to room, tries to clear his head, thinks about drinking the memory away, and keeps ending up right where he started — turning around and circling back again. The arrangement leans into that feeling with a laid-back blues groove, dobro, harmonica, acoustic guitar, bass, and light drums, with instrumental turnarounds that echo the song’s title.
