"I've done quite a bit of recording now over here in my adopted home base of Malmö, Sweden. Recorded in 2015, 'BIG BLIND SPOT' featured two new players I'd never recorded with: LASZLO DANCS (bass) and ANDREAS ERIKSSON (co-producer, guitars, drums).
Laszlo had been a bass player with the JON STRIDER BAND since 2012. I thought it was high time I got him on a Strider record. He rose to the challenge, and kicked ass on this country recording. He can play anything, and I'm grateful he'll play this country stuff so powerfully and soulfully. He GROOVES that root and fifth big time!
...And then there's Andreas! When I first met him, I heard what he'd been recording (Crazy Licks, Northern Cowboys, other artists) and I knew I had to work with him! Talent with a Capital T. He has gone on to tour, record and co-songwrite with the international rock band, Inglorious, based in the UK.
Anyway, this was the team on BIG BLIND SPOT. It was a pleasure! I look forward to more" - Jon Strider

BIG BLIND SPOT
Words & Music by Jon Strider
I___ got___ a___
Big Blind Spot
When it comes to lovin’ you
I got two good eyes,
but man, I just can’t see
I got a Big Blind Spot
And it’s all that I can do
To overlook the way you’re treatin’ me
Since that day you caught me
I’ve been hooked on your spell
Like a lovesick flounder on a line
You have stolen my good sense
And now I cannot tell
Somehow bein’ used feels just fine___
I got a
Big Blind Spot
When it comes to lovin’ you
Got two good eyes,
but man, I just can’t see
I got a Big Blind Spot
And it’s all that I can do
To overlook the way you’re treatin’ me
(Solo: zany vocals & guitars)
I have tried and tried
To heed those warnin’ signs
All them red flags flappin’ in the air
But my heart is defenseless
All you have to do is smile
You say, “Jump”.
and I say, “Tell me where__”
I got a
Big Blind Spot
When it comes to lovin’ you
Got two good eyes,
but man, I just can’t see
I got a Big Blind Spot
And it’s all that I can do
To overlook the way you’re treatin’ me
To overlook
You’re cheatin’ me!
