I may have posted about this guy before, but he's amazing. Sheesh. So, this is my thread to post his lyrics in and try to get you people to listen to him. If you want to get one of his albums, try Alabama Chicken. You guys might know him from Will & Grace. I don't really know who he played and I didn't watch the show, but he was on there! Okay, I'm gonna start with my favourite one first.... The Story of Little Maggie (This is an old school bluegrass song) over yonder stands little maggie with a dram glass in her hand she is drowning all her troubles and courting another man how can I even stand to see those two green eyes shining in the moonlight like two diamonds in the sky pretty flowers are made for blooming pretty stars are made to shine pretty women are made for loving little maggie was made for mine last time I saw little maggie she was sitting by the sea empty bottle down beside her and a banjo on her knee I'm going to the station with a suitcase in my hand I'm going to leave this country for a far away land go away go away young maggie and do the best you can I will find me another woman you can find you another man You really need to listen to this song to fully appreciate it. Go! Go now! Download it, buy it. It's worth it! His voice, the banjo, its prime.
One more set of lyrics for today. This is a great song too. It kind of reminds me of some poetry I've written. Could be part of why I like him so much. Here We Are here we are some dust, some stars old heart catcher with a moonshine jar lost in a dream as we try to retrieve pieces from yesterday what will they be? open the box inside a string your skin is the air & your blood sings on and on what will it be ambling ambrosia broadcasting seeds come on come on the road you're on darkness flowers into the dawn digital daylight electronic stars primitive eyes and old-fashioned hearts nostalgic leaves fall from the trees the smell in the air is of an old memory on and on all dust all stars shake your thing man be who you are on and on as we walk through the bars cocktail queens send me to mars what will it be a new memory remember the child who wanted to sing pulsing through fingertips drips on a string how do they know you what will it be serving up songs serving up drinks I tell you the future is a new memory on and on intoxication finding religion inside a bar singing to no one singing to sing singing to god sing sing sing bus stop digestion we know who we are we are a neon reflection with a glow stick heart dust storm detection we vacate the scene shall we dance or seek refuge in the acid cabaret on and on the poets go on mushrooms mandolins kangaroo jars medieval themes melodica sings crooning with bull horns the party begins cc ryder summertime cries operatic ladies who sing about mice the drummer with sticks z she strips speed with the words tumbling from his lips on and on all dust all stars shake your thing man be who you are
