I've never enjoyed filling out and mailing a ballot more in my life. Epic playing! Could listen to it all day.

Great smooth sound, southern vibe excellent!

Remarkable collab gentlemen...my compliments !:)

Cool collaboration! Short, but very attractive track!

first I always loved this style of music and it is done really well here..I listened to.   a.n  interview with a last auschwitz survivor.  he was asked what would he tell people today. he said don't be silent because evil grows little by little and then it's too late. We now have persons dragged off the street and imprisoned with no charges..press threatened for disagreeing with the administration..flagrant disobedience of judicial orders..so don't be silentrview last night with one of the last auschwitz survivors.He was asked what would he tell people now. he said don't be silent,evil comes a little at a time and then it's too late.

Play A Slow One

Joe Hill, Swedish emigrant, songwriter, working class hero, was the inspiration behind this song.

A poll released on August 16th found that nearly half of Americans who support Biden plan to vote by mail rather than in person on election day, compared with just one in ten backers of Trump.

Big thank you to https://soundcloud.com/jonathan_beckenstein for his beautiful raw playing that takes this song from its humble ‘rural’ beginnings into big ‘city’ overdrive. And to Yaron Engler for his deft drum programming.

No letter in the post for Joe
No letter in the post for Joe
Where’s that vote
In an envelope
No letter in the post for Joe

He needs that letter to make things better 
Why’s it so damn slow
Don’t stop clapping
Until it happens
No  letter in the post for Joe  
      
Click, snap, a letter box flap
Tell me yes or no? 
If that my vote
In an envelope
That’s all I need to know
Or I tell you Joe might blow

Uptown Woman (Lyrics)

Uptown Woman Oh You Look So Good
Uptown Woman In My Neighbourhood
Uptown Woman Walking Down The Street
Uptown Woman Makes My Knees Go Weak
Uptown Woman Come And Give It To Me

Uptown Woman With The Long Black Hair
All Of The Boys They Just Stop And Stare
Uptown Woman With The Red Dress On
Cool Down Babe I Think You're Turning Me On
Uptown Woman Come And Give It To Me

She's Got My Head Spinning Round And Round
I Feel My World Turning Upside Down
She Makes Me Hot
She Makes Me Sweat
Uptown Woman I'm Gonna Get You Yeah

Uptown Woman Oh You Look So Good
Uptown Woman In My Neighbourhood
Uptown Woman Walking Down The Street
Uptown Woman Makes My Knees Go Weak
Uptown Woman Come And Give It To Me

Uptown Woman Come And Give It To Me
Uptown Woman Come And Give It To Me
Uptown Woman Come On And Give It To Me - Like That.

BBC Radio Essex DJ Juggy Sohal played "Don't Ask Me" and interviewed me afterwards, I was speaking from a pitch black river bank as we were packing up after a day's salmon fishing...  a slightly surreal experience!

BBC Radio Essex Interview with Phil McWalter + 'Don't Ask Me'

This is a song off of Volume 2 of That Old Time Americana which you can listen to in its entirety on Spotify at: https://open.spotify.com/artist/170Dmo9QlaMn62XbwR7Q5s?si=jrKd5mR8QWOU8_aiY-o9lg

This song is about people that hold extreme biases against the lifestyles of other groups of people. The lyrics delve into the isolation and hypocrisy that breeds these biases generationally. There are detrimental costs associated with this thinking.

Lyrics:
Reasoned away the prodigy lying about responsibility breathing down my sweaty neck loading aces in the deck
day light was never there
patience was never shared
bone dry like a lonely dawn
sparking life within in a yawn
time out to hesitate
pleasure to ride and fluctuate
Don't you know the prairie life breeds fear and loathing and lack of spice
scared of your shadow some ghostly matter
voting to deny others human rights
Daddy's a liar but Grandpa's dead
They hated each other for the anger they fed
Breaking away is what the young all do
But eventually they will come back to you.
day light was never there
patience was never shared
bone dry like a lonely dawn
sparking life within in a yawn
time out to hesitate
pleasure to ride and fluctuate
Should we rise or sit back and wait
while the dumbass teacher demonstrates
Moving off to another state
never able to self-deprecate
seriously though you have to stop
before we have to call the cops
Many have said you aren't our kind
staying up late and mixing wine
Been all day wasn't kind
Waiting for the call to say it's fine.

Coming Back

Coming Back     (Video on Vimeo)

A remake of an old one from the 80s, main guitars and vocs are live recording with two mics in the room, then some overdubbing. Part of our new recording sessions where we are both remaking some old songs on the new, better equipment and recording some new songs as well. We'll keep posting as we go. Morry and I are both singing on this one. Slowly working through the mixing and mastering on the Tascam DP24. Hope you enjoy these.
