Eliza Neals, a modern blues-rock performer, has a powerful message on life that has been a long time coming. “Colorcrimes” was born on-stage to help people soothe their souls in this troubled world. The audience’s tearful reaction convinced her to record “Colorcrimes” on her next album. Eliza draws from a diverse group of musicians to capture lightening in a bottle every time.
“Colorcrimes” the album is riddled with stellar musicians and one iconic songwriter. Multiple Grammy winner, Songwriter plus Rhythm and Blues Hall of Fame inductee, Detroit’s late Barrett Strong Jr. who co-wrote three songs. Returning guitarist, co-producer and songwriter Michael Puwal is back with his outstanding genuine downhome slide playing. You too will find yourself not only searching for the truth in “Colorcrimes,” but your path will be strewn with real-life bluesy naratives drawn from the unbelievable life of “The Detroit Diva” Eliza Neals.

Something’s Better than Nothing (E Neals – Barrett Strong)
So you’re ashamed of the clothes you wear
They’re not designer nobody cares
Clothes don’t make the person
better listen to me
Take this advice it’s totally free
Listen
Just be thankful for what you got
It’s better to have than to have not
Chorus
Something’s Better than Nothing
My mama use to tell me girl
Something’s Better than Nothing
Ooh ooh ooh
Verse 2
I know the car you’re driving is a wreck
But it gets you where you’re going with all it’s defects
So you got yourself a part time lover
If he got what you need don’t go looking for another Listen
Just be thankful for what you got
It’s better to have than to have not
Chorus
Something’s Better than Nothing
My mama use to tell me girl
Something’s Better than
Nothing My mama use to tell me girl
2x
Bridge
They say a little bit of money goes nowhere
So you better count your blessings that your health is still there
You woke up this morning no tag on your toe
You better enjoy your life before it’s time to go
