This week our host Jim Adams for Song Lyric Sunday has given us the weekly prompt of Bomb, Gun, Knife, Weapon.

The goal is to take the prompt and profile a song that has it part of its lyrics or title.

Please consider carving out time to read the posts of other bloggers who responded to the Song Lyric Sunday challenge.

Smoking Gun

My selection this week is Smoking Gun by blues guitarist Robert Cray. It was released in 1986 and is obviously a song that deals with infidelity and the terrible outcome that anger and envy will sometimes bring. The song appeared on his album called “Strong Persuader”. That album won a Grammy in 1986 for Blues Album of the Year.

Here are the musicians who were part of that album.
