Dixie Highway: 3 songs & 14:38 minutes of your life
Lyrics: Me
Everything else (music, vocals, instruments, production, talent): Tom
These are some of the things we've done over the years. Please take the just less than 15 minutes it'll take to enjoy them.
TAKE IT ON FAITH 5:00 We were at sea and I had been listening to Steve Earle all day (before he went off the political deep end) and just had to write. This came out pretty quickly on a midwatch. Lots o' coffee and time to kill has always been a good combo for me creatively. This is not particularly autobiographical, except maybe the crying part. I'm a sensitive guy.
BABY'S SHAKIN' 4:18 This was inspired partly by thinking about my friend sk, and partly because I'd been pondering my own aimlessness. It is autobiographical in that sense, but not in a real literal fashion. Here is the first of many where I rely on those twin stalwarts of good southern storytelling-love unfulfilled and cheap motels. That theme carries on into the next song also,
DIXIE HIGHWAY 5:20 We did four versions of this song. We threw all four into a gunny sack with a bunch of voodoo chicken bones, shook it up good and this is what come out. I would love for someone with a gravelly voice like Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown or a bluesrocker like Kenny Wayne Sheppard to (buy and) record this. In his prime, The Killer, Jerry Lee Lewis, woulda kicked hell out of this too. It's really bluesy and I think it has that much potential if grabbed by the throat and strangled in true rockin', angst ridden blues fashion. It is also noteworthy in that it's the first song where we colloborated completely online. I was in Japan and Tom was in the States. We used e-mail, websites and mp3s to pull it all off. Yay us!
Hope you enjoy.

Ed, man this is pretty good. No, make it awfully good. Nasheville is coming to you! Oh, speaking of Nasheville...All of that wondering around on the south side of Nasheville on drugs kinda played on Steve Earl. But, I do appreciate him..."Billy met Bonnie on a Saturday Night, at the dirt track races, it was love at first sight". Absolute classic! Keeep up the good stuff!
