about
Fragile is a slow-burn, thumping blues with an infectious riff and searing lap steel solo. This is the first single from Leigh Sloggett’s soon to be released album ‘Wait for the Change’ and his first release since his 2012 album ‘More Than I Need’.
lyrics
Fragile
Well I’m fragile, handle me with care
Yes I’m fragile, handle me with care
There’s some things you ought to know, before we walk out of here
Well I’m broke yeah, I’ve got nothing to my name
Yes I’m broke yeah, I’ve got nothing to my name
If you want to hang with me, there ain’t nothing to be gained
Well I’m tired yeah, I’ve got to get some sleep
I’m tired yeah, I’ve got to get some sleep
If I don’t find a bed soon, I’m gonna lay down in the street
Well I’m old yeah, not the man I used to be
I’m so old yeah, not the man I used to be
When I look into the mirror, some old guy looks back at me
Well I’m foolish, to ever think that it could be
I’m so foolish, to ever think that it could be
That a fine women like you, would want a tired, weak, poor, old fragile man like me
That a fine women like you, would want a tired, weak, poor, old, fragile man like me
released August 8, 2022

Written by Leigh Sloggett
Recorded and engineered by David Miller at Fret Wire Studios

Leigh Sloggett’s earthy song writing and commanding style extend beyond the diverse foundations of Blues and Folk. Evocative
timbres and a soulful touch are brought together by searing roots guitar and lap slide.
Plans are afoot to release his fourth album titled ‘Wait For the Change’ the second half of 2022....more
I've been hearing this album on the radio and each time I find myself wanting to hear more of these spacious, evocative songs. The song writing is confident and mature and the production sublime. Leigh Sloggett
Eleven Eleven is worth buying for the opening track 'Harlem County Line' alone as well as several other excellent rock'n songs like 'Johnny Ace is Dead', 'Run Conejo Run' and Muriietta's Head. Leigh Sloggett
Combining Lucie's warm, breathy vocals, her tremolo rich guitar with a band of sensitive players and gentle grooves and an atmospheric feel makes for an album you pleasantly float through. Leigh Sloggett
