Rather Be A Son

Little bit of a blessing, a bit of a curse
Tried to push towards better, but it strayed to worse
So lay your head on my shoulder, don't hear those words
That read like a blessing, though they speak a curse
He's got a mouth like a pocket of shotgun shells
Don't think he means harm, but I'm nervous still
'Cause I get a notion when your daddy's lookin' at me
That I'd rather be a son than an enemy
I'd rather be a son than an enemy
I'd rather be a son than an enemy
I'd rather be a son...
I can't deny that mistakes were done
But I never had a plan to hurt no one
And I'm a real hard worker when I find it, sir
And I'm a real fine talker when I mind my words
In a town full of prophets and poisoned wells
You hear a lot of, 'they're both gonna burn in hell'
And if the talk at your daddy's BPOE can't stay off of my name
It's just the same old fears from their granddads' mouths about where they lay the blame
A bit of a blessing, a bit of a curse
This son of ours and the whole damn world
Set your head on my shoulder, don't hear those words
Might be a blessing, though it reads a curse
Might be a blessing, though it reads a curse
Might be a blessing, though it reads a curse
Might be a blessing...

Donny don't say much, but we all know that someone talked
And now every last man to one knows that he's a cop
Between late night talk and the bottle, between the puffed up chests and the shame
You start thinking that we won't see his face around here again
So you say a few things to try and make 'em think where it's headed might be wrong
'Cause your blood runs cold at the way these boys talk
Yeah, when they get into the who's to blame for what, you just pray your name don't get brought up
'Cause shoes like those ain't a place you'd wanna walk
When the truth is known by everyone, will the names and reasons change
You see how it ends, and it's only you to blame
When the time the seeds are sown, will we have a reason left to know
And in the end will you even want the thing explained
Dead boys still have daughters and mamas, at home waiting for fathers and sons
And if yours saw you now what would they think of their only one
So when they started pointing fingers, they just had to have an answer, so somebody started shifting the blame
And his daughter and his mama won't see him coming home again

Valley Of Heart's Delight

This ain't Texas. This ain't Nashville. This is country that straddles the US and Canadian border. Its wide open, strong, and a little vulnerable, and in a lot of cases having a good ol' time. I love her feel.

A very clever songwriter and an album that bears many, many repeat listens. Worth the price for the Little Feat reference (in Tehachapi) alone, but it's her way with an image that sticks longest. "You left the building in a flurry / Had your boots on in the house."

Echo Dancing
by Alejandro Escovedo
The legendary Alejandro Escovedo returns with another country-rock scorcher.

Long-running underground rocker Brian Vanderwerf is the heart and soul of these gritty songs that capture the scruffy spirit of the ’70s.
