Mountain Standard Time

Look over your shoulder now It seems I’m going south again I make a sudden choice to be The feather in your cap And the fruit in your tree Little bird little bird little bird and me Little bird little bird little bird and me At the turn of the century It was only but a dream At the turn of the season You brought to me a little wing Little bird little bird little bird and me Little bird little bird little bird and me Light as a feather now Feel the space within your chest The storm is passing by I think I’m ready now to sing a new song Little bird little bird little bird, fly Little bird little bird little bird, fly Fly Fly

It is what it is and it ain’t what it aint it’s all smoke and mirrors and pictures you paint (You can) keep telling lies so they think you’re a saint But it is what it is and it ain’t what it aint You can slap a nice label on bad table wine Drink til you’re full / feel empty inside Keep saying sorry when nothing will change You can sing when you’re hurting and smile through the pain Chorus You can talk a big game even though you can’t win And get close to someone without letting them in Political treasons that pine for your soul Just because something glitters don’t mean that it’s gold Chorus

about

This album represents my strongest, most mature, yet most playful work yet. All ten songs have unique feels and stories. I hope the eclecticism of the album keeps the listener engaged and even smiling from time to time. Some songs showcase my love of the folk songwriting tradition, while others lay into simple old country, honkey tonk, and blues. I also hope these songs are as fun to listen to as they were to write and record.
