Hot off the press...as the saying goes.
This is full on guitar driven song. With the Kill Branch Studio band, of course.
This is very reminiscent of one of the style of one of the road bands I was in. Wide open, guitars up front, and looking for a good time. This song gave me a good excuse to do what I enjoy doing. And that was simply playing the guitar and piano in a creative way and making no excuses.
So, turn it up and let a couple of minutes slip by in a blink.
Outlaw Music The Band:
Bass 539
Drums Nashville Sw 8ths
Steel 370
Fiddle 2222
Vocals, all Guitars, and piano: Yours truly.
The guitar was my Modern Tele with the bridge and middle humbuckers depending on the part. Quilter amp with CL-80 speakers in an open back cab with Fender doing the tone. Clean settings and reverb on 6ish.
Lyrics:
They Don't Play Outlaw Music Anymore
There's dust on the jukebox, the records don't turn,
Memories of old songs, PBR sign don't burn.
The stories of drifters, rogues, and thieves,
Have faded from airwaves like whispers in a breeze.
[Chorus]
They don't play outlaw music anymore,
No Waylon or Willie, Hank Jr or Coe.
The rebels and ramblers aren't welcome anymore
They don't play outlaw music anymore.
The radio plays, but it’s all polished shine,
Three chords and the truth are, getting harder to find
They turned out the lights, put a lock on the door.
That Silver Eagle ain't rolling through midnight anymore.
CHORUS
SOLO
So I’ll pour some whiskey, drop a needle on black
Put on a record and let Merle take me back.
To when a man would sing, tell the truth in his song
A six string sinner in the spotlight all alone.
CHORUS & TAG
As always, comments and thoughts are welcome.
In case you're wondering..... or maybe you're not..... Organically home grown. Pure country from the heart.
