natureboy Well done for a first coming out record of blues & country especially on different unprocessed song combinations between Ariel on vocals & Jordan maybe on guitars, lap steel, bass, drums/percussion, vocals & harmonies (very talented musician). Ariel puts out a forceful assertive energy (expressing thoughts, feelings & beliefs in direct, honest & appropriate ways) which spreads out through the whole record. Tracks that also stand out for me are 04, 05, 09, 03 & 10. Favorite track: No Sleep.

Dawn of Night 03:44
lyrics
DAWN OF NIGHT This is the night When the old wives tell Tales of those who rode this way before them Keeping nothing new Borrowed, old and blue This is the night The night it dawned It dawned That night It dawned on me What in the world Came before The crowned me with a thorn Cut my skin and let the poison in What happens then my fates to win If that's the deal i made i made a very grave mistake This is the night The night it dawned It dawned That night It dawned on me This is the night When the old wives tell Tales of those who rode this way before them Keeping nothing new Borrowed, old and blue This is the night The night it dawned It dawned That night It dawned on me

In My Girlish Days 03:04
lyrics
IN MY GIRLISH DAYS Late hours at night, trying to play my hand Through my window, out stepped a man I didn't know no better Oh boys In my girlish days My mama cried, papa did, too Oh, daughter, look what a shame on you I didn't know no better Oh boys In my girlish days I flagged a train, didn't have a dime Trying to run away from that home of mine I didn't know no better Oh boys In my girlish days I hit the highway, flagged me a truck Nineteen and seventeen, when the winter was tough I didn't know no better Oh boys In my girlish days All of my playmates is not surprised, I had to travel 'fore I got wise I found out better And I still got my girlish ways

Washing In the River 05:00
lyrics
WASHING IN THE RIVER The mud waned banks seemed to wander by While pushed along on rushes ride And he sang He sang of his woe The weather comes fair and the weather comes foe Say he's powerful fond of the too and fro And he sang He sang of his woe Say'n no mount'a washin' in the river gonna cleanse this soul It take more nerve than can stand a man To read aloud when he's dealt his hand So he sang He sang of his woe Singing don't play hooky with a pole cat swinging On a midnight barge coz you'll end up swimming For broke And he sang He sang of his woe Its a sad thing thinking on a boat whats sinking What a wretch he made of the things god give him With nothing to show He sang He sang of his woe Say'n no mount-a washin' in the river gonna cleanse this soul Wanna mend all my ills for i get too old The mud waned banks seems to heave and sigh As he passed and loosed his cry He sang He sang of his woe Say'n no mount'a washin' in the river gonna cleanse… this… soul… No washing in the river won't save this soul Wanna mend my ill's for i get too old And I'll Be bathing long No washing in the river won't save this soul Washing in the river won't cleanse my soul Mend my ills for i get too old If my sins run out, no the banks won't hold So i tried my luck on a white-wash post Drove the nails home with the savior ghost No washing in the river won't save this soul Washing in the river won't cleanse this soul Gotta mend my ill's for i get too old Its a sad thing thinking on a boat whats sinking What a wretch he made of the things god give him No washing in the river won't save my soul No mount'a washing in the river gona' cleanse this….

MOUND BOOZE HOUSE Shot down the bayou And one sad soul laying dead I sent word to save myself And you sent for my head Had you a message But i forgot to rite it down Well that suits me coz i can't read On in the ground face down Shots down the bayou As i reach for my gun I'a told you lonely man that your days are done Listen to me here I got no immediate plan Well I'm liable to cut you neck Coz this my home long loving land I know that violence for Too long has been my cure I see they brought a... shot for me… yeah Shot on down the bayou I heard that sound before Shot down on the bayou I heard that sound before Yeah i heard the sound before

Its a Blessing 05:18
lyrics
IT'S A BLESSING I am marching every day, I'm meeting trials on my way Short of blessings but I'm going on Just the same. Folks complaining On every side, Except me, Lord, I'm satisfied. It's a blessing just to call My savior's name. I don't worry And I don't fret Not so easy To Forget I just pray, And count my blessings Every day. If misfortune break my heart, I just take it For my part It's a blessing just to call My Savior's name. It's a blessing just to live It's a blessing just to give It's a blessing to be present In this land. Matters not how bad at first Just remember, it could be worse, It's a blessing just to call My Savior's name. Folks complaining On every side, Except me, Lord, I'm satisfied. It's a blessing just to call My savior's name.
