Well, we been livin' high on the hog since the tax check came and went We don't know how to save no money but we damn sure get it spent We got just enough for a 12 pack and a couple more gallons of fuel, and if I can't spend no money tonight, I'm still gonna spend it with you Let's go down by the river tonight, Let's go down by the river tonight, Look at the stars above and make sweet love, it's goin' down by the river tonight. Well, you came here to go fishin' and I came here to get saved. I'm gonna stick my toes in a river that flows and rolls all my sins away. We'll have ourselves communion with sandwiches and homemade wine, and I might not make it to church tomorrow but tonight I feel divine. Let's go down by the river tonight, Let's go down by the river tonight, Look at the stars above and make sweet love, it's goin' down by the river tonight.

Black Snake 04:05
Mama they said it's a felony to stand up for the water that we drink. So, I put my body in the way of the machine that was digging up those graves. Well, they dug up the place where my grandmama lays, now they wanna put me in jail All these uneven ways keep my people as slaves. Let me say, your black snake will fail. Well, the old ones say there are two different ways, go with the gold or go with the green. It's gonna take a change in our ways and all our prayers for the water to be clean. Oh, the water.

Wind 04:37
Times are changing. My head spins. I don't know where you end and I begin. I don't know what changed, I don't know what remains, but I think you do. Do you? Do you know who this is? Seems to me to be so obvious that between you and me is so wide and so deep, you can't even see me, can you? Seasons and years, passions and fears, dry spell and rain, pleasure and pain... The road lays out before me. You know I'm gonna go. I'm never gonna be the girl you used to know. If I can't find my way back, I don't know what I'll do. But, if the wind blows in Kansas, I'll still be loving you. Times have changed, and here I stand. Still no telling just where I'll land. All I know my friend, is that love don't end or go away, but I couldn't stay. Do you know who I am? Seems to me that you don't understand that between you and me is so wide and so deep, you can't even hear me can you?

Mother 04:44
You and I, we are the same. I'm the place from whence you came. Gave you bones, I gave you blood. Turned your face toward the sun. Stay with me a little while. Sow your seeds, drink deep. You'll remember who you are. You and I we are the same. Dust to dust, from whence you came. Everything returns to one. Turn your face toward the sun. Stay with me.

Never Know 04:19
Take time to be around you, out from inside, some time to be without your worry and pride. Give till your pocket's empty. Take in the light. All that we'll ever need is yours as well as mine. You never know who you might love. You never know who might love you. Fire in a cloud of darkness. What will you see? Choosing to know the beauty, change what will be. Solid foundations cannot be washed away. Waves of the storm will bring a healing rain.

White Rabbit 02:58
One pill makes you larger And one pill makes you small And the ones that mother gives you Don't do anything at all Go ask Alice When she's ten feet tall And if you go chasing rabbits And you know you're going to fall Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar Has given you the call Call Alice When she was just small When the men on the chessboard Get up and tell you where to go And you've just had some kind of mushroom And your mind is moving low Go ask Alice I think she'll know When logic and proportion Have fallen sloppy dead And the White Knight is talking backwards And the Red Queen's off with her head Remember what the dormouse said Feed your head Feed your head

about

This recording from February 2020 at Kaw Valley Public House has been professionally mixed and mastered, and contains never-before recorded or released tracks such as Country Cruise, and our covers of No Rain, White Rabbit and All Gonna Die are all included.

This album will not be available on streaming services or CD! Vinyl and digital download only.

With hindsight being 20/20, this show holds a special place in our hearts. Our last performance before the shutdown. Thanks to everyone who brought their energy into that space, and everyone who offers your support in this strange new world we find ourselves inhabiting. Thank you to Jeff Groves for recording this historic night Peter Oviatt for a beautifully balanced mix, and Mike West for the masterful mastery for vinyl.
