    Sticks & Strings features the EG Kight Trio in a simple, acoustic setting. EG and her “boys”, as she affectionately calls them - Gary Porter and Ken Wynn - offer a wide variety of blues/roots music with these songs, nine of which were written or co-written by Kight. The CD also includes a cover of Gregg Allman’s “Come and Go Blues.”
    Ranging from resignation about a failed relationship in "All Things Considered" to the fun/rootsy story of what's gotten her through the tough times in "God, Goats and Guitars" (with Kight's mama on background vocals), to the vivid images painted with the lyrics of “Changes Coming Down,” to the closing anthem "I Won't Ever Give Up", this record is all about relationships - the good, the bad, and the ugly.
    No matter the subject of the song, when EG and her boys get together, in the studio or on the stage, that's where the magic happens.
    EG has 18 music industry nominations to her credit in her 25 years in the blues, including some for Song of the Year, Album of the Year, and Female Artist. In an ever-changing musical landscape, Kight continues to help shape Contemporary Blues with her rich vocals, well-crafted songs, genuine southern charm, and irresistible spirit.

    “...a uniquely rural, deeply personal sound and style.” - Taylor Guitars Magazine

COME AND GO BLUES People say, that you’re no good But I wouldn’t cut you loose, baby if I could I seem to stay down on the ground Baby, I’m too far gone to turn around If only you, would make up your mind To take me where you go, or leave me laying behind Lord you got those come and go blues, yea you do Lord you got those come and go blues Lord, you got me feelin’ like a fool, just like a fool Round and round and round we go Don’t ask me why I stay here, I don’t know Well maybe I’m a fool to care But without your sweet love, I would be nowhere So here I’ll stay, locked in your web Till that day I might, find someone else But I don’t know just when that will be But I don’t know, I can’t say cause I can’t see Sail on, darlin, sail on, you just go your way and I’ll go mine Well it seems to me that I once heard, That everything is finally cured by time Darlin’ sail on, baby sail on I just wish you good luck and I’ll see you when you come next time Lord you got those come and go blues, yea you do Lord you got those come and go blues Lord, you got me feelin’ like a fool, just like a fool

Already Gone 04:32
ALREADY GONE Don’t waste my time, tellin’ me you wanna leave The handwritin’s on the wall, It’s very plain to see That being here with me is not where you belong How can I miss you, when you’re already gone. When I needed affection, You would always disappear Your heart’s been on a long vacation You’ve been everywhere but here. Go ahead and pack your bags, and don’t take too long How can I miss you, when you’re already gone. You used to say I was hotter, than summer in the south It’s been a long time since the fire went out I can’t even remember our last kiss We can’t keep going on like this Oh Baby, you know I ain’t wrong How can I miss you, when you’re already gone There’s no need for a farewell speech All you gotta do is leave and just let me be I know you’re itchin’ to go , I’ll be just fine alone How can I miss you, when you’re already gone.

God, Goats and Guitars I’ve had some tough times But found peace of mind With the help of three things dear to my heart they are God, goats and guitars God hears my prayers I know he is always there My goats have lifted me up when my life was hard and strumming my guitar brings Light out of the dark Everybody has to find their own way Whenever they face their darkest days What works for me may not work for you. But, God, goats and guitars have helped me get through When I start feeling down I remember how blessed I am To have these things that have played a big part In getting me this far, God, Goats and Guitars

Changes Coming Down Leaves are falling by my window, a cold front’s moving in Feels like I’m walking through a fog, Trying to get back to where we’ve been There’s a chill in the air Like I’ve never felt before It reaches to my soul Don’t feel your warmth anymore Cho: I’ve lost my mind and don’t know where to find it I keep looking for – whatever’s behind it I see your face in every leave that’s drifting to the ground It’s fall and I feel changes coming down When the sun comes up tomorrow, Will we still be the same As autumn turns to winter I pray our love will still remain Cho: I’ve lost my mind and don’t know where to find it I keep looking for – whatever’s behind it I see your face in every leave that’s drifting to the ground It’s fall and I feel changes coming down

I WON’T EVER GIVE UP The way I was raised I learned to hold my head up high I never cease to be amazed How good things come when I try I’m not Super Woman, but I’m tough I say to myself out loud Girl, don’t ever give up Some days there’s a haze When gray clouds come over me i just look for a better day And stay in charge of my own destiny I face my troubles, and stay tough And there’s one thing I won’t do I won’t ever give up Everyone’s had bad luck one time or another But love keeps seeing me through from my sisters and brothers When I get knocked down I’m gonna get back up and fight When I lose my way ‘round I’ll reach for my guiding light I know my strength will always be enough Cause I won’t ever, won’t ever give up.
