The Paladins – Ticket Home is a blues single many fans interested in the blues music circuit overlooked or slept on. It almost seems as if people slept on this single. If this single was released on Fat Possum, Alligator Records, or Blue Note instead of Sector 2 Records, then this album might have had a better chance of success. Being on a different label makes a huge difference sometimes.
You ever have the sinking feeling that someone has been sleeping in your house? Well, the song Who’s Been Sleepin’ is about someone sleeping in your house. To add insult to injury, that person is sleeping with your lover. It’s like an episode of Jerry Springer.
You came through the front door and you knew you heard the back door slam. There is no doubt in your mind that someone is inside your house. Your lover starts acting very suspiciously. Your lover smells like combination mixture of old spice and whiskey. That guilty look your lover has in their eyes gives away all kind of vibes. Ain’t no way you can lie about that.
The bedroom looks as if a hurricane swept through the house knocking all furnishings onto to the floor. Sheets are all over the floor, curtains are closed, and lights are dimmed very low. Notice how wrinkled the bedsheets are. Someone definitely has been sleeping in your bed during the day.
That makes your blood boil. Now you want to put your lover and the person who has been sleeping with your lover into the hospital as they are about to be together again very soon.
Ticket Home is a song about returning home to a loved one. Life is hard without your loved one or companion by your side. You know you’re coming home regardless if the weather is bad. Sometimes a little company goes a long way.
I rate this single, 4/5****!
