With the advancement of new software and (I hope) experience, I thought it time to do a remix of this collab with Geneva Griffin from 10 years ago. Most of the colourful lyrics are hers. A few lines were added by myself. All BIAB tracks but those details are lost to time, sorry. https://soundcloud.com/vic-arnold/the-whip-crackers-daughter?si=62469216ec4d4c6d82583b54fa86c374&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharingThe Whip Crackers Daughter © Griffin & Arnold 2014 Verse 1 She wouldn't ride ace high, on the trail to California, Her daddy in the bone yard. Her man gone west for gold Driven 'cross bad lands, by a hired out buffalo soldier. A pocket advantage, sewn into her pettycoat. Verse 2 That California Widow done her share'a belly-achin', The blue-belly yank, had tough bacon to save. Tho she got hell-fired up, aired her lungs daily, Her travelin' companion, never put her in her place. Chorus He burned the breeze He baked the horses While she wagged her finger, cussed and moaned, used all she dared employ Still bad blood between 'em, but although the war was over, a whip cracker's daughter couldn't bow to a whippin' boy. Verse 3 It'd been a coon's age since, they'd left the plantation and those cotton blossoms, strung up by copperheads.. turned his face a ghostly pale and she struggled for a reason but they sang a soulful hymm, and then buried the dead. Chorus He burned the breeze He baked the horses While she wagged her finger, cussed and moaned, used all she dared employ Still bad blood between 'em, but although the war was over, She a whip cracker's daughter and him a whippin' boy. Bridge Then one cold October mornin' they were dry gulched by Shoshone, He drew those blue lightning's, left those men lying in the draw, She whispered "you're a free man now" then she keeled right over, Her words set his heart to fly like it never had before, Years went rolling by but when they’d laid that brother down the words were chiselled on his stone ..."you're a free man now ........" Chorus He burned the breeze He baked the horses While she wagged her finger, cussed and moaned, used all she dared employ Still bad blood between 'em, and now the war was over, for the whip cracker's daughter and the whippin' boy.

The remix sounds great! Very cool! The lyrics are have an interesting narrative, and as you said, are "colorful". Nice backing and vocals, and clear mix.

Vic, that's a really nice song, and it sounds GREAT. Love your vocals! That little sliding note at about 4:45 sounds really unsettling-but-cool and makes for a nice coda. Love this style of song, a shame so few make songs like this anymore. Glad you are!.

Vic, this is absolutely an outstanding song done in the style of Tom T. Hall and that is a very good thing.
Outstanding vocal, lyrics, backing tracks, and mix.
Loved it.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Very low-key and nice. Sounds lite sitting around a campfire in the Wild West. Vocals sound a bit like good old Man in Black, suits the song perfect.

Masterfully done. This should be on the radio. You are a professional, for want of a better word. My sincerest, humblest congratulations - I love this song ... one of those which I want to hear at least one more time. And, yes; beautiful, "colourful", yes ... but really evocative, imaginative lyrics.

Great song with a historic theme. I particularly like the instrumental arrangement and mix.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#17: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#69: Bring consciousness to it.
#74: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#105: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

A cool fun song, Vic. Excellent vocal, and the arrangement and mix is just perfect. Very cool spoken words in the middle. The whole song is just so well done front to back and side to side

Vic,
A bit sad, but beautiful folk tune. I believe your mix turned out really well. Vocals are clear. Cool spoken word section. Thank you for sharing.
