Whiskey General

Whiskey General is a collaborative music project led by British musician, singer, and songwriter Jay Serra, co-founder of The Juice (aka Kasai). A veteran of international tours and indie music productions, Jay has supported acts as varied as The Doves, Magistrate, Ms Dynamite, Idlewild and Scouting For Girls. With Whiskey General, Jay wanted to highlight an overlooked pool of talent. He believes that the traditional rock star no longer exists. Instead the future lies with DIY artists, artists who are not confined or defined by genre, and who believe in the stripped-back power of a raw idea on a guitar or piano, rather than the over-production of manufactured pop and rock. Jay’s first track, 'Truth And Lies' was a collaboration with fellow musos and touring vets, Bob Moore and Rich Merrett. His second release, ‘Shotgun’, is in collaboration with Jack Evans and Rich Merrett was a labour of love that involved artists from Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Toronto. He co-produced it with Jordan Brown. His latest and upcoming release 'The Evil Eye', is his collaboration with London guitarist Maw. With cross of vibes between Sabbath, Nineties Grunge and a theme observed by so many countries around the world, the powerful song promises to pack a punch.

lyrics
It's a funny old world
But nobody's laughing
In between the newborn, the living and the dying
In for a penny, In for a pound
Prince and Pretender, both claiming the crown.
All this it's no surprise
Truth and Lies
Well I look to the east
Raise my hands up to heaven
Bowed to the new born son who had risen
Learned all the words but none of their meanings
Learned all the secrets but none of their reasons
So I laid all my faith in the tales and the legends
Miracles and myths of divine intervention
Huckster and priest selling redemption
Toll for the soul
On the road to salvation
And who are to blame?
We are sinking forever
In the sea of gain
Now I sit here to ponder
Question and wonder
End of the day I am still none the wiser
Like threads on the loom all weaving a pattern
A picture in light and life ever after
Life ever after
