THE RUSH

Believe - Brooks and Dunn (vocal cover) by D B Keith

This song was written by Chuck Berry while in prison and was recorded
in 1964.  This " poor boy" traveled across dozen states by bus, train and
plane to get to his promise land (California).  It was also recorded by
Elvis Presley .  Remember, Paul Revere and the Raiders, Freddy Weller,
had a hit with it also.  Louisiana's own Johnny Allen also had a hit with
it here in cajun land.  Having a little fun with this one.

Promise Land ( Cover of Chuck Berry )

There once was an amazing magical musical Band called 'Bread', fronted by the inimitable David Gates. Cover 'Sketch' created with all due respect and love for Bread, albeit only a rather small slice here. ;-)
Look What You've Done
(Bread - Gates - 1970)
You have taken the heart of me
And left just a part of me,
And look, look, look what you've done.
Well, you took all the best of me,
So come get the rest of me,
And look back, finish what you've begun.
There is some-one you ought to meet,
It's me, Mister Incomplete.
Look, at what I've become.
For it's due to the lack of you
That I'm now only half of two.
Look back, finish what you've begun.
Come and sit by my side
Where there's nothing to hide.
You will try to decide what you needed
But from where I stand today,
I can't think of the way
Or the words that I might say
That will change your mind and make you stay.
Oh, no, not for all the times I've pleaded.
Look, look, look what you've done.
You have taken the best of me,
So come get the rest of me,
And look back, finish what you've begun.
I'll be done.

Look What You've Done - Version

Angle from Montgomery is a great song written by 
John Prine, originally appearing on his
self-title 1971 album John Prine.
I decided to try covering this song.

Hidden Doors W/ Grave

This is a track by Dan X2 that was made in May of 2016.  It has gotten lost over the years.  Dan Blackard recently mentioned that it is missing in our song lists.  So here it is.  Brought back from the Dead.  I don't know what genre this should be called.  What do you think is the genre?

Here are the Lyrics:
yrics;

There's this island
In the sky
No one can see it
with ordinary eyes

A comfortable breeze
Is rocking the trees
The weather so fair
And It floats in the air

My Family and friends
Where they all stay
And I'm always welcome
when I come by there way

The hills fill with flowers
cool running streams
Beach sand for the hours
Of living the dream

There's an island in the sky
Just right for me
When clouds pass by

But The bottles gone dry
And so very tired am I
A doorway for me
To sleep by and by

soon I'm alone
And I take all I own
To my island in the sky

There Is An Island In The Sky

World Gone Bad - Words & Music: Pravinand Maharaj

I was born downtown on a bed of rats
From a dirty faced kid to a mean ol’ cat
Mama said son you look just like your dad
It’s hard being good in a world gone bad

Don’t wanna go where I don’t want to be
Don’t want to say what I don’t really mean
What a lowdown rotten life I had
It’s hard being good in a world gone bad

Gonna pull up my boots
Pick up my cane
Put on my hat
Get on the road again
Hit that trail before the break of dawn
You can wait all you want but baby I’ll be gone

Some get their kicks in the back of a hearse
Some drink blood just to quench their thirst
Me I’m on the edge going mad
It’s hard being good in a world gone bad 


World Gone Bad

Tribute to Merle Haggard R.I.P.

        HE PULLED US INTO HIS WORLD
	AND LET THE MUSIC UNFOLD
	HOOKED US FROM THE START
	IT WAS WAY DOWN IN HIS SOUL
	
	WHEN IT COMES TO COUNTRY
	YOUR IN IT OR YOU AIN'T
	HAGGARD WAS IN IT
	PLAYED FROM CAN TO CAN'T
	
CHORUS
	MERLE SANG ABOUT LIFE
	THE GOOD TIMES AND BAD
	HEART AKES AND STRIFE
	COULD MAKE UM' RHYMN..MAKE UM' SAD
	HAGGARD IS GONE
	YEA, THE HAG IS GONE
	HIS MUSIC LIVES ON
	YEA, HIS MUSIC LIVES ON
	
 	PEOPLE CAME FROM ALL AROUND
	TO HEAR THAT BAKERSFIELD SOUND
	MADE THAT TELECASTER TWANG
	WE LISTENED WHEN HE SANG
	
	MERLE TRAVELED FAR AND NEAR
	TO SING HIS COUNTRY SONGS 
	IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE HE'S GONE
	HIS MUSIC WILL ALWAYS LIVE ON
	
	(REPEAT CHORUS 2 times)
	
	NO NEW SONGS ABOUT KERN RIVER
	HE WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN…NO, NEVER 
	
	© 2017 Lyrics by Tony Harris (BMI)

DEMOS

Haggard Is Gone - Lyrics by Tony Harris - Vocal & Music by Phillip Clarkson - Original

A collaboration with the mighty Jamyork, soul brother.   I have written and am howling, (nothing new there ). Jamyork with the funky bits.


I have heard them say that we should be frightened of the stranger in our midst.
They say that they will protect us with an iron fist.
I think we're heading for big trouble if we carry on this way,
hard times are surely coming if we carry on like this.

we need a one love revolution.   a whole new kind of evolution breaking through

I have heard the man on the mountain, he was a preacher of love.
he said that the meek will inherit
and the lowly will be raised by the power of the dove.

One Love  Revolution with Jamyork / Steve Killingbeck

One Empty Chair

Quitaque - Beth Williams

Depeche Mode has always been one of my favorite Electronic Music bands of the 1980s. This song is definitely an “upper” for me along with “Safety Dance” by fellow Montrealers Men Without Hats. Get on your dancing shoes and enjoy this blast from the past.

Never Let Me Down Again - Cover

This is an old one I put lyrics to. 
Drew Ford did the music.
We need more of Drew's art in this world.

That High Mountain
John Delk / Drew Ford  2013

The road is long
when your soul is weak
Time is now
But not yours to keep

The mountain's high
An the valley's low
Ain't no easy
Way to go

Don't be afraid
To turn around
Don’t let the past
Slow you down

When you come down ..... from that high mountain
When you finally …..... understand
That you ain't...... one bit better
Then you'll be.... a better man

When you get, all you're after
When you find, there ain't enough
When you come down, from that high mountain
You never will ….. go back up



It's just you an that high mountain's
Then it's just you, it's just you

You and that High Mountain
