From the Album: Angels In Exile, Year of Release: 2001
Lyrics : I've Got A Mind To Give Up Living

I've got a mind to give up living
And go shopping instead
I've got a mind to give up living
And go shopping instead
Pick me up a tombstone
And be pronounced dead

Well, I read your letter this morning
That was on your place in bed
Oh, when I read your letter this morning
That was on your place in bed
That's when I decided that I'd be better off dead
Oh, yeah

When I read your letter this morning
That was on your place in bed
Yes, when I read your letter this morning
That was on your place in bed
That's when I decided that I'd be better off dead

It read, "There is no use looking or ever hoping
Or ever hoping to get me back"
Oh, no use looking, baby
Or ever hoping to get me back
Because it's all over now
And, baby, you can bet on that"
Oh, yeah......

Guitar [All Guitars], Vocals – Scott Holt

Scott Holt isn’t exactly a newcomer to the music buzz. He served in Buddy Guy’s band for 10 years and, not surprisingly, calls it a “…trip to the university.” That schooling has definitely paid off with Angels in Exile. Scott covers a lot of territory musically on the record, but it’s always rooted in the blues.
There’s traditional stuff. “I’ll Make Love to You Anytime” features nasty, bluesy, guitar work and enough lyrical bravado to fill an entire blues album. And “Too Far Gone” is a big-ass Texas shuffle with a big Strat sound and absolutely kills. And for slow blues, Scott shows he’s more than capable on the wonderful “I’ve Got a Mind to Give Up Living.” Soulful, heartfelt playing with some nasty vibrato complement the song lyric perfectly. But there’s lots more here. The title cut is a country-rocker that recalls the Stones of the early ’70s. “Dress You Up” is a very cool mix of modern rock and Hendrix-influenced Strat work.
Covers? Check these out; a funky version of the Little Feat classic “Spanish Moon” cooks on every level. Feat members Billy Payne and Paul Barrere guest on it and a killer cover of Bob Dylan’s “Blind Willie McTell.”
Scott’s playing is fine – he’s equally at home in the blues, rock, or country-based rock. His vocals, while not great, fit the songs wonderfully. His voice has a very nice lived-in rasp that gets the point across. Great album.
